A policewoman was arrested in the investigation into the murder of Beniahu Razi, according to Israel Hayom. The arrest is a dramatic development in the case, which has already seen a policewoman suspected of obstruction.
Israel Hayom reported on Wednesday evening that a policewoman has been arrested in the investigation into the murder of Beniahu Razi, marking a new development in the case. The Zioneer reported earlier on Wednesday, at 18:56 Jerusalem, that a traffic division policewoman had been questioned by the Police Internal Affairs Department (Machash) on suspicion of obstructing the investigation. Over the course of the evening, she was arrested on suspicion of obstruction and breach of trust, and subsequently released to house arrest under restrictive conditions. Court documents obtained by The Zioneer at 19:12 Jerusalem revealed that she had met with two suspects shortly after the murder and taken actions to disrupt the probe.
The case began with the murder of Beniahu Razi in a Jerusalem Airbnb apartment, as The Zioneer reported on July 3. That earlier report noted that one suspect had been arrested after fleeing the scene, with the background under investigation.
The specific role of the newly arrested policewoman and whether she is the same officer from the earlier house arrest remains unclear. The investigation is ongoing.
