Model Leen Peer is named as suspect in murder case after gag order lifted

Leen Peer is the Israeli model arrested in October on suspicion of homicide, Hebrew outlets report, after a gag order was lifted on her name.

She and three other suspects were arrested last month in connection with the death of Shalom Nissim.

According to the Kan public broadcaster, Peer had in the past been implicated in violent acts, the most recent of which involved her stabbing her ex-boyfriend five months ago.

She also attempted to stab a woman she had intimate relations with around a decade ago, the outlet reports.

Prosecutors claim that Nissim arrived at her Petah Tikvah apartment on October 15, where a fight broke out.

The suspects allegedly stabbed and assaulted Nissim with pepper spray, before he fell from the apartment’s balcony. He then landed on a fence and broke his neck, which killed him on the spot, according to prosecutors.

The other suspects are named as David Kricheli, Maor Elisha and Bar Outmezgine.

The suspects are thought to have consumed hard drugs, including heroin, before the victim’s death, according to Hebrew reports.

Peer was also one of the dozens of complainants against modeling agent Shai Avital, who was convicted of sexual assault earlier this year.
