The Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash) questioned a traffic policewoman on suspicion of obstruction of justice and breach of trust, as part of the investigation into the murder of Beniahu Razi. The Zioneer reported earlier that the same officer was arrested in the probe.
Tonight, the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash) questioned a traffic policewoman on suspicion of obstruction of justice and breach of trust in the Beniahu Razi murder investigation, specifying the charges that had been reported in general terms earlier. The questioning follows the officer's arrest and release to house arrest earlier today, and marks the latest step in the internal probe.
Earlier Wednesday, at 18:56 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported a rapid sequence of developments: the officer was first questioned under caution (version 1), identified as a suspect and a relative of a main suspect (versions 2–3), then formally questioned by Mahash (version 4), arrested (version 5), released to house arrest (version 6), and subsequently had court documents published detailing her alleged meeting with two suspects shortly after the murder and actions to disrupt the probe (version 7). The final prior update confirmed the formal arrest (version 8). The reporting, initially from N12 and Ynet, was later corroborated by court documents.
The Zioneer previously reported that the murder of Beniahu Razi occurred in a Jerusalem Airbnb apartment, and that two women, Shilat Huta (19) and Mazal Linor Shashon (50), are suspected of involvement. The policewoman is reportedly a relative of one of the suspects. The case has drawn attention to police conduct, with the commissioner ordering an examination of suspension for officers caught in traffic violations in a separate incident.
Further details of the investigation remain under a court gag order, and the specific nature of the officer's alleged obstruction and breach of trust has not been fully disclosed.
