The policewoman suspected of obstructing the investigation into the murder of Binyahu Razi has given her version, reportedly stating that she was not given instructions to act differently. The case involves alleged interference in the murder probe.
The policewoman suspected of obstructing the investigation into the murder of Binyahu Razi has reportedly given her version of events, stating that she was not given instructions to act differently. The claim, cited by ynet, comes after hours of intense developments in the case, which has already seen the officer arrested, released to house arrest, and alleged to have met with two suspects shortly after the murder.
By Wednesday at 18:56 Jerusalem, The Zioneer had reported that a traffic division policewoman was questioned under caution. Over the course of the evening, it emerged that she was a relative of one of the main suspects, and that she was arrested on suspicion of obstruction of justice and breach of trust. Court documents later revealed that she met with two suspects shortly after the murder and was updated by them, after which she allegedly took actions to disrupt the investigation without notifying authorities. She was released to house arrest under restrictive conditions, including a ban on contact with those involved.
The Zioneer has previously reported on the broader Razi murder case, including the arrest of a senior officer on suspicion of destroying evidence. The policewoman’s alleged interference is part of an ongoing probe by the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash) into potential obstruction of the murder investigation.
The suspect’s claim that she was not given different instructions remains unverified. The investigation continues, and it is unclear whether her account will be corroborated by other evidence or contradicted by the court documents indicating she was updated by the suspects.
