Israeli police have published the photo of Avior Sasson, 17, a Jerusalem resident suspected of involvement in the murder of Beniahu Razi, according to police. The suspect is still at large 11 days after the killing. Police say he was allegedly invited to the scene by the victim's ex-girlfriend, Agam Tzrafi, and was recorded fleeing the area.
Israeli police published the photo of Avior Sasson, 17, the prime suspect in the murder of Beniahu Razi, on Wednesday evening, 11 days after the killing. The suspect remains at large. The release came shortly after police issued a warning that anyone aiding Sasson could face up to three years in prison, as The Zioneer reported at 18:15 Jerusalem.
Police first identified Sasson as a suspect at 17:53 Jerusalem on Wednesday, providing a physical description and noting he was recorded fleeing the scene. The photo was published simultaneously, according to reports from ynet, N12, and i24NEWS. The suspect is alleged to have been invited to the scene by the victim's ex-girlfriend, Agam Tzrafi, who is in custody. As The Zioneer reported on Jul 17, 14:21 Jerusalem, Tzrafi is an active-duty IDF soldier and had a toxic relationship with Razi. The court extended her detention by seven days on Jul 16, 11:38 Jerusalem, and later extended the detention of another suspect, Mazal Linor Shashon, by eight days on Jul 15, 12:08 Jerusalem.
The murder, which occurred in an Airbnb in Jerusalem, has been described as a 'red cap' scheme, where two women lured Razi to the apartment and additional suspects arrived to stab him, as The Zioneer reported on Jul 12, 15:12 Jerusalem. The case has drawn attention due to the toxic relationship between Razi and his ex-girlfriend.
It remains unclear where Sasson is hiding or whether he is being aided by others. Police have not released additional details about the circumstances of the murder.
