Shalom Beniahu Razi was murdered in a Jerusalem rental apartment, according to reports. The suspicion is that one of the participants at a gathering invited acquaintances who arrived, stabbed him, and fled. The mother of one suspect allegedly hid her son and was arrested for obstruction of justice.
The investigation into the murder of Shalom Beniahu Razi in a Jerusalem rental apartment has taken a new turn this afternoon, with police arresting the mother of one of the suspects on suspicion of obstruction of justice, according to journalist Daniel Amram. The mother allegedly hid her son after the stabbing, which occurred late Saturday night. The arrest was reported by The Zioneer at 13:17 Jerusalem, adding a new layer to the ongoing case.
The Zioneer first reported the stabbing on Saturday night at 22:28 Jerusalem, describing a 19-year-old stabbed to death in an Airbnb apartment in the Nahlaot neighborhood, with police searching for four suspects. Within the same hour, updates confirmed that six suspects had been arrested, and the victim was identified as Shalom Razi, a resident of Givat Ze'ev. Further details from Saturday night, attributed to journalist Liran Tamari, indicated that the stabbing occurred during a social gathering when one of the participants invited acquaintances, who allegedly carried out the attack. The victim's full name, Shalom Beniahu Razi, was later reported. The number of suspects expanded from four to six, and the apartment was reportedly being used for prostitution and drugs, according to a neighbor cited by Walla.
Attributed background: The Zioneer's reporting on Saturday night and this morning, including a bulletin at 10:10 Jerusalem, has consistently framed the incident as a targeted attack during a social gathering, with the invitation of the suspects being a key element. The police have not released a motive, but the investigation is focused on the gathering's participants.
What remains open: The specific role of the arrested mother's son in the stabbing has not been clarified, and it is unclear whether additional arrests are expected. The motive for the attack remains unknown, and the investigation is ongoing.
