A court today (Tuesday) extended by three days the detention of the two suspects in the disappearance of Eldar Dayan, according to ynet. The suspects were brought before the court for a remand hearing; their identities remain under a publication ban. The development marks the latest step in an investigation that has been ongoing since late July.
On July 28, police announced they had identified individuals who know Dayan's whereabouts, and two helmets suspected to belong to him and his friends were located. Earlier that day, Channel 14 reported new details about Dayan's final hours, and suspicion grew that two close friends threatened his life after an argument. Reports also indicated that Maxim Broverman, a friend, is now suspected of driving the car involved in an attempted hit-and-run, not Dayan. The investigation has shifted direction multiple times, according to Israeli media.
The Zioneer previously reported on the arrest of Omri Peretz, identified as the second suspect, whose detention was extended until August 2. Peretz, represented by the Public Defender's Office, denies all allegations, and his attorney has noted there is no complainant or identified victim. The family of Dayan retained criminal attorney Sapir Pardo, who denied claims of his involvement in a violent incident, calling them speculation. Police have assessed that Dayan fled after a brawl between acquaintances escalated, and gas station footage showed him leaving his vehicle without distress.
Dayan's whereabouts remain unknown. No charges have been filed in the case. The investigation is being handled by Israeli police and security authorities.
