Court remands Ori Ansbacher’s killer for 10 days
The Palestinian man accused of murdering the Israeli teen Ori Ansbacher is remanded into custody for 10 days by the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court.
According to reports in Hebrew-language medias, police and the Shin Bet asked the court to remand Arafat Irfayia into custody for two offenses: rape and “terrorist murder.”
Yesterday, the Shin Bet announced that Irfayia had “nationalist” motives when he fatally attacked Ansbacher on Thursday in a forest on the outskirts of Jerusalem, indicating it considered the incident to have been terrorism.
The intelligence agency said he reenacted the murder in front of interrogators and “implicated himself definitively in the incident.”
Most details of the case remain under police gag order.
