The Northern District Prosecutor's Office released the full indictment details on Friday morning against a resident of Umm al-Fahm for the fatal hit-and-run of reserve soldier Adisu Woba on Highway 6. According to the indictment, the suspect was driving at 132 km/h in a 90 km/h zone when he struck Woba's motorcycle, then fled about 200 meters, set his vehicle on fire, and reported it stolen four minutes later. The charges include abandonment after injury, causing death by negligence, destruction of evidence, obstruction of justice, false reporting, reckless driving, and speeding. The prosecution has requested that the suspect be held in custody until the end of proceedings.
As The Zioneer reported on Thursday (Jul 9, 11:08 Jerusalem), an indictment was filed against Khaled Agbariya, 40, of Umm al-Fahm. Initial reports from N12 noted the speed and the alleged cover-up. Over the course of Thursday, the details were confirmed and expanded, with the victim identified as Adisu Woba, a reservist returning from active duty in the northern sector.
The case has drawn attention because of the circumstances — a soldier killed after completing combat service, and the alleged efforts to destroy evidence and mislead authorities. The suspect's remand hearing is expected to continue.
The investigation remains open; further court proceedings are pending.
