The Nazareth Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday extended the remand of two suspects in the killing of 16-year-old Yara Ayoub, who was found dead in her Galilee hometown of Jish on Monday.
The teen’s killing shocked the quiet village of some 3,000, leading local schools and businesses to close Tuesday in protest.
The two suspects, a 50-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man, will remain in police custody at least until Sunday. They were arrested yesterday, bringing the total number of suspects linked to Ayoub’s murder to four, all residents of the village.
The court’s decision comes a day after Ayoub’s late-night funeral, which saw thousands accompany her casket through the streets to the village’s Muslim cemetery.
