New details emerge on Avior Sasson, the main suspect in the murder of Beniahu Razi: an indictment for violent offenses was filed against him in 2024, he was placed in a treatment program but struggled to persist, and he has been exercising his right to silence since his arrest, according to journalist Lee Ayesh.
The Zioneer previously reported that Avior Sasson, 17, was arrested on July 28 after a weeklong manhunt, ending a dramatic pursuit that included the detention of family members and an Israel Prison Service officer. New details from journalist Lee Ayesh indicate that Sasson had a prior criminal record: an indictment for violent offenses was filed against him in 2024, and he was enrolled in a treatment program but failed to maintain consistent participation. Since his arrest, Sasson has reportedly refused to speak to investigators, exercising his right to silence. The information sheds light on the suspect's background as the case proceeds.
