According to N12, Israeli police said initial findings indicate that when officers arrived at the scene of a suspected murder in Umm al-Fahm, the crime scene had been tampered with — washed and evidence removed. A man was shot dead in the city early Sunday.
Israeli police have revealed that the crime scene in a suspected murder early Sunday in the Arab city of Umm al-Fahm was tampered with before investigators reached it. According to a report from N12, citing an initial police investigation, upon the arrival of forces the scene had been washed and evidence removed. A man was shot dead in what police are treating as a suspected murder with a criminal motive. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, a man aged about 30 was shot dead and another person wounded in the city. The new development — the alleged scene-tampering — suggests an effort to obstruct the investigation.
