The main suspect in the kidnapping of seven-year-old boy denies any connection to the the family of Karim Jumhour, who was snatched from outside his home in northern Israel two days ago.

According to reports in Hebrew-language media, the suspect tells the judge at the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court during a remand hearing this afternoon that he “has no idea what [police] want from me, I don’t know the child or the family. I have nothing to do with it.”

Police requested the court extend the remand of all four suspects by 15 days.
