Police announce they have arrested three more people suspected of involvement in the murder of Tawfik Abu Lashin in Nazareth last month.
One of the suspects was apprehended yesterday while driving in central Israel.
Abu Lashin, 25, was shot dead at a car wash in the northern Arab city on June 25. Hours later his cousin, Naif Abu Lashin, was killed in a similar incident in neighboring Yafia.
Police suspect that the shootings are both linked to the same dispute between criminal organizations in the area.
The main suspect in the murder was arrested on July 6. He had crashed into a parked car when fleeing the scene of the shooting on his motorcycle and injured himself.
Police nabbed him when he was still in the hospital.
It is unclear what the three other suspects’ alleged roles were in Abu Lashin’s murder.
