i24NEWS reports that the Jerusalem court has allowed the publication of the name of 19-year-old Agam Tzrafi, the ex-girlfriend of slain Benyahu Razi, as the main suspect in his murder. She is suspected of involvement in planning the killing. Two other women, Shilat Huta and Mazal Linor Shashon, were previously named as intermediaries.
The Jerusalem court has officially permitted the publication of Agam Tzrafi's name as the main suspect in the murder of Benyahu Razi, i24NEWS reported on Friday at 14:02 Jerusalem. Tzrafi, 19, Razi's ex-girlfriend, is suspected of involvement in planning the killing, which took place in a Jerusalem Airbnb apartment.
This development follows a series of reports earlier on Friday. At 14:02 Jerusalem, Israeli media outlets including N12 confirmed that Tzrafi was the suspect who ordered the murder, as The Zioneer reported at 14:15. Prior to that, at the same 14:02 timestamp, authorities had permitted publication of Tzrafi's name as the ex-girlfriend suspected in the case, and Israel Hayom identified a female soldier and the ex-girlfriend as suspects who allegedly orchestrated the murder. The thread shows a rapid escalation of corroboration: from initial naming to confirmation of her role as the orderer, and now to the court's formal permission to publish her name as the main suspect.
As The Zioneer reported on Wednesday, July 15, at 12:08 Jerusalem, the court had previously allowed publication of the names of two other women, Shilat Huta (19) and Mazal Linor Shashon (50), who are suspected of acting as intermediaries between the girlfriends and the stabbers. Additionally, The Zioneer reported at 14:21 Jerusalem on Friday that Tzrafi is an active-duty IDF soldier and that she and Razi had a toxic relationship, including mutual complaints.
The investigation remains ongoing. Further details about Tzrafi's alleged role and the exact sequence of events leading to the murder are still under scrutiny.
