Police arrest main suspect in connection with last month’s Jerusalem murder

Israel Police says it arrested Avior Sasson, 17, the main suspect wanted in connection with the murder of 19-year-old Benayahu Razi in Jerusalem earlier this month.

Police say that the suspect was hiding in various locations across the north and center of the country, and that he was caught by officers while coming to Jerusalem in a taxi.

The officers raided the vehicle and detained him at the Harel Tunnel at the entrance of the capital.

Israel Police publishes footage of the arrest.

Earlier today, police said they arrested a prison guard on suspicion of aiding a suspect wanted in connection with the murder of Razi.
