Remand of driver suspected of killing 13-year-old boy extended

A judge at the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court extends by six days the remand of the suspect who ran over Eylon Amsalam last Thursday night, killing the 13-year-old boy while he was waiting to cross the street at a Tel Aviv intersection.

The judge states there is a concern that the suspect, 23-year-old, Eli Bar Zakai had tampered with the investigation. Bar Zakai, who police say was drunk at the time of the accident, has not been cooperating with authorities in the investigation.
