Israeli police arrested a female Israel Prison Service officer this morning on suspicion of helping the main suspect in the Binyahu Razi murder case evade capture, according to N12. The officer is the latest in a series of arrests as the manhunt for Avior Sasson continues.
Israeli police arrested a female Israel Prison Service officer this morning on suspicion of helping the main suspect in the Binyahu Razi murder case escape, N12 reports. The arrest builds on an earlier detention of the same officer on suspicion of obstruction of justice, as The Zioneer reported at 11:10.
The murder of Binyahu Razi in a Jerusalem Airbnb has led to an extensive investigation. The main suspect, Avior Sasson, remains at large. Previous arrests include a relative of Sasson, a 15-year-old sister, and two other suspects whose detention was extended. The investigation also involves an active-duty IDF soldier, Agam Tsarfi, suspected of ordering the murder.
The new allegation — that the officer actively helped the fugitive evade capture — represents a significant escalation in the probe. It remains unclear whether the officer was assigned to the same facility where Sasson was held or how she allegedly facilitated his escape.
Police continue the manhunt for Sasson, who has been at large for over a week. No further details on the officer's identity or the specific circumstances of the alleged assistance have been released.
