The indictment filed Friday in the Beniahu Razi murder case details the alleged roles of the suspects, including Linor Shashon, mother of the main suspect, who reportedly drove the armed group to the victim's apartment and urged them not to 'finish' him. According to the indictment, Agam Tzrafi and Shilat Huta first went to the apartment, where four other suspects — Avior Sasson and three minors — organized to murder Razi. Shashon then watched the events and drove the group away. In court, Shashon said she was being treated unfairly; the victim's mother said she hopes for justice.
The indictment filed Friday in the Beniahu Razi murder case details the alleged role of Linor Shashon, mother of the main suspect Avior Sasson, who according to the indictment drove the armed group to the victim's apartment in Jerusalem and urged them not to "finish" him. Shashon, who was charged with obstruction of justice and aiding an offender after the fact, reportedly watched the events and then drove the group away.
The case has been closely followed by The Zioneer. Earlier this week, on Tuesday, Aug 4, prosecutors filed statements of intent to indict against seven suspects, with formal indictments anticipated. On Thursday, Aug 6 at 21:06 Jerusalem time, the prosecution filed two indictments: six suspects, including Avior Sasson, were charged with premeditated murder, while Linor Shashon was charged with obstruction. The victim's mother, Dekla Razi, said she hoped the court would do justice and give the guilty the full punishment, describing the suspects as a dangerous organized crime group.
Background reports by The Zioneer have documented the arrest of the main suspect after a two-week manhunt, the arrest of his 15-year-old sister as a pressure tactic to turn himself in, and the revelation that Avior Sasson was indicted for violent offenses in 2024. The indictment also alleges that the suspects armed themselves with bats and knives.
The case continues in Jerusalem District Court. In court, Shashon said she was being treated unfairly. The victim's mother reiterated her hope for justice. The investigation remains ongoing, and the exact sequence of events leading to the murder remains under review.
