In exclusive quotes obtained by The Zioneer, Avior Sasson, the main suspect in the murder of Beniahu Razi, provides his version of the incident. Sasson claims the victim initiated the altercation and that the knife struck Razi during a struggle.
Avior Sasson, the main suspect in the murder of 19-year-old Beniahu Razi in Jerusalem, has broken his silence. In exclusive quotes obtained by The Zioneer, Sasson claims the stabbing was not premeditated and that the incident began when Razi pulled a knife. "It started a fight. Beniahu went wild and was hit by the knife," Sasson is quoted as saying. The account contradicts the prosecution's narrative that the murder was planned.
As The Zioneer has reported, Sasson was arrested at the end of July after a weeklong manhunt. He is also suspected of involvement in a previous violent incident. The case has drawn significant public attention, with police alleging that the murder was orchestrated by a group including the victim's ex-girlfriend. Sasson's version of events is expected to be tested in court.
