The granddaughter of a murder victim alleges that police at the Migdal HaEmek station refused to act on information she provided about suspects last Saturday, according to a Channel 12 report. She quoted officers as saying no help was available and that detectives were busy with more important cases.
Sharon Knoblich of Channel 12 reports that despite arrests made in the case, the victim's granddaughter claims she arrived at the Migdal HaEmek police station on Saturday with information identifying suspects. She said officers told her, "There's no way to help now, and even if you go to the Haifa station, the detective there is busy with more important things than this investigation." The allegation raises questions about police responsiveness in a homicide case. This follows a separate BACKGROUND incident reported by The Zioneer on June 18, in which a female detective was attacked at a Highway 4 protest and her suspect's remand was extended — though that event is unrelated to the Migdal HaEmek station's conduct. No police comment on this specific complaint has been reported yet.
