A court in Israel rejected the police's request to perform an autopsy on the body of Oshri Kadoshim, a known criminal eliminated in Netivot on Saturday evening. The decision, reported by i24NEWS on Monday, means the body will be released for burial.
The fatal shooting occurred on Saturday, August 1, in the southern city of Netivot. Kadoshim, a senior criminal figure known to police, had moved to the city earlier that week and celebrated his son's bar mitzvah two days prior. He was killed and a 29-year-old man was lightly injured. Police opened a murder investigation with a criminal motive and arrested a suspect in his 40s, a Netivot resident, who was later brought to the Beersheba Magistrate's Court for a remand hearing.
The police had sought a post-mortem examination to gather forensic evidence, but the court ruled against the request. The suspect remains in custody as the investigation continues.
The Zioneer reported on the shooting and the arrest on Saturday evening. The court's rejection of the autopsy request marks the latest development in the case.
