From Police arrest suspect in 2020 rape of woman in Bnei Brak park
Police say they have arrested a suspect in the 2020 rape of a woman in a park in Bnei Brak.
The 28-year-old woman was attacked and raped in a park in the city’s Pardes Katz neighborhood.
According to police, the 33-year-old suspect — a resident of the city — was arrested after “a new forensic finding” in recent days.
Police sources tell the Kan public broadcaster that the suspect is an Azerbaijani citizen with temporary resident status, and he is married to an Israeli.
The outlet says the man was recently arrested in connection with another offense, and the DNA sample taken from him led to a match with the evidence collected from the scene of the 2020 rape.
The suspect appeared in court yesterday and his detention was extended until tomorrow.
