A policewoman is suspected of obstructing the investigation into a murder in an apartment in Jerusalem, according to a report.
The Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash) questioned a traffic policewoman on Wednesday evening on suspicion of obstruction of justice and breach of trust, the latest development in the probe into the murder of Beniahu Razi in a Jerusalem apartment. The questioning, reported by The Zioneer at 19:23 Jerusalem, follows a series of dramatic developments that were detailed in reports published earlier at 18:56 Jerusalem.
The Zioneer's thread of reports from Wednesday at 18:56 Jerusalem traces the following sequence: a policewoman was first questioned under caution (Ynet); she was identified as a relative of a main suspect (N12); she was questioned by Internal Affairs (Machash) on suspicion of obstruction; she was arrested on suspicion of obstruction and breach of trust; she was released to house arrest under restrictive conditions; court documents revealed she met with two suspects shortly after the murder and took actions to disrupt the investigation; and Israel Hayom reported her arrest. The reports, all published at the same time, reflect a rapid escalation in the case.
The murder of Beniahu Razi occurred in an Airbnb apartment in Jerusalem's Nahlaot neighborhood, as The Zioneer has previously reported. The case has drawn attention due to the involvement of an active police officer. The Zioneer's reporting has tracked the investigation from the initial questioning to the latest Mahash inquiry.
It remains unclear whether the Mahash questioning will lead to additional charges against the officer or to further arrests in the case. The court documents have already provided a detailed account of the alleged obstruction, but the investigation is ongoing.
