Tonight, a senior investigator in the Eldar Dayan murder case told Israeli media that the condition of the victim's body was "unprecedented," leaving investigators shocked. The remark comes as police continue to hold two suspects on murder charges. Dayan, an Israeli man, was found dead on Thursday.
As The Zioneer reported at 17:05 Thursday, a court extended the detention of Dayan's associates by one week, with the suspects now held on suspicion of murder. At the same time, investigators were examining the suspicion that the associates struck Dayan with a helmet, causing his fatal injury. Later, at 20:51 Thursday, The Zioneer reported that the family's lawyer accused police of failing in the investigation and said the parents were "completely broken."
The Zioneer also reported at 20:45 Thursday that the helmet-strike suspicion was a central line of investigation. The case has drawn attention due to the severity of the injuries and the involvement of close associates.
It remains unclear how the fatal injury was sustained, and whether the suspects' account of the events matches the evidence. The investigation is ongoing.
