Police are expected to request a 15-day extension of the remand of the suspect in the murder of a lawyer in Rishon LeZion, according to N12.
Police are expected to request a 15-day extension of the remand of the suspect in the murder of attorney Arbel Feldman in Rishon LeZion, N12 reported Wednesday morning. The request is to be filed with the court later today. The development follows the suspect's surrender to police on Tuesday afternoon and his subsequent confession to the shooting.
The Zioneer has been tracking the case since the suspect turned himself in on Tuesday. The 23-year-old Ramla resident told investigators he shot Feldman four times after a dispute over a 15,000 shekel debt, according to a police investigation source. The suspect, who had a criminal record, said he had pursued the victim for three years over the debt. The victim, Arbel Feldman, was a lawyer in Rishon LeZion, and police said the killing was criminal, not terror-related.
Earlier Tuesday, the Zioneer reported the suspect's surrender and his identification as a Ramla resident. The suspect's confession was initially reported by N12 and Israel Hayom, and later confirmed by additional sources. The case has drawn attention due to the daylight shooting at the victim's office and the suspect's detailed account of the debt dispute.
The court is expected to hear the remand extension request later today. The suspect remains in custody as the investigation continues. No further details about the suspect's background or the specific circumstances of the dispute have been released.
