Israeli police arrested two additional suspects overnight in the murder of Beniahu Razi, according to reports. The suspects are a 16-year-old female minor — identified as a relative of previously named suspect Linor Shashon — and an 18-year-old man. Police are expected to request a court extension of their detention later today.
The Zioneer first reported the arrests at 10:18 Jerusalem on Thursday, stating that a 16-year-old female and an 18-year-old suspect had been taken into custody. At 10:21, a follow-up bulletin confirmed the same details. The current update adds the familial connection between the minor and Linor Shashon, a suspect already in custody.
The investigation has been ongoing for over two weeks. Previous arrests, as The Zioneer has reported, include Shilat Huta (19), Mazal Linor Shashon (50), and Agam Tzrafi (19), among others. The main suspect, Avior Sasson, 17, remains at large, and police continue their search.
It remains unclear what specific role the two new suspects are alleged to have played in the murder. The court hearing for their detention extension is expected later today.
