Police are probing whether convicted sex offender Rabbi Eliezer Berland, head of the extremist Shuvu Bonim sect, was involved in a pair of unsolved murders in the 1980s and 1990s, according to the Kan public broadcaster.
Earlier today, police arrested three suspects — who are reportedly from Shuvu Bonim — in connection to the killings. A court later ordered that all three remain in custody for eight days.
