The lawyer representing the family of Eldar Dayan said the parents are 'completely broken' and accused the police of failing in the investigation, according to a report by ynet. The statement comes as the family responds to the discovery of Dayan's body on Thursday and the police holding two suspects on murder charges.
The lawyer for the family of Eldar Dayan spoke out Thursday evening, accusing the police of failing in the investigation and describing the parents as 'completely broken,' according to a report by ynet. The statement adds a new layer to the case after the discovery of Dayan's body earlier in the day and the arrest of two friends on suspicion of murder.
Thursday morning, a body was found in the Petah Tikva area during searches for the missing man and sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for identification. By Thursday evening, police confirmed the body was that of Dayan, ending a three-week search, and the arrest of two friends was extended by six days on murder suspicion, as The Zioneer reported. The family issued a response following the identification, and the lawyer's statement follows that.
Earlier Thursday, Dayan's mother appealed to police officers to let her see the body to confirm it was her son, as The Zioneer reported at 12:10 Jerusalem time. The investigation is being led by Central District Commander Amir Cohen, police said.
The lawyer did not provide further details on the alleged police failure. The investigation into Dayan's death continues.
