Attorney Adi Carmeli, representing the family of Lia Malka, criticized the decision to release the murder suspect to house arrest, as reported by N12 on Sunday evening. Carmeli described the move as "another failure of the Israel Police that is unable to provide personal security for the citizens of the state." He stated that the failure began with inadequate handling of complaints filed months before the murder and ended with a lack of results in the murder investigation. Lia Malka was killed in a car bombing on the Ayalon Highway; as The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, the suspect, identified as Chen Cohen, 37, was ordered released to house arrest.
