Police say they’ve cracked Eilat rape case, found total of 17 suspects
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice say they have cracked the case of the alleged gang rape of a 16-year-old girl in Eilat, and have identified all 17 suspects in the case — though so far only 14 have been arrested.
Eleven suspects are under arrest while three were released under restrictive conditions. Four suspects are adults, while the rest are minors.
“The victim’s testimony has been found to be reliable and supported by evidence,” police say.
Officials say they have been able to reconstruct the timeline and investigators believe they have reached all suspects in the case. They hope to conclude the investigation in the coming days.
Earlier in the day one of the suspects admitted to have filmed the incident, though he claimed he did not take part in the act itself.
