Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe lawyer of the father of a fugitive man suspected of shooting up a Tel Aviv bar on Friday, killing two Israelis, before going on to kill a cab driver elsewhere in the city, says his client spoke to the alleged gunman on the phone right after hearing of the attack.
Mohammed Milhem, the father of 29-year-old Nashat Milhem, was arrested and questioned Tuesday along with five others. He is suspected of being an accessory to the murder, and of obstructing the investigation.
According to Mohammed Milhem’s attorney, Nahami Feinblatt, Nashat Milhem told his father right after the shooting that he was visiting a sick relative, Channel 10 reports. Feinblatt says no one further managed to contact Nashat Milhem after the initial call.
