The suspect in the murder of attorney Arbel Feldman threatened to kill any cellmate during a court hearing Wednesday, according to i24NEWS. The Rishon LeZion Magistrate's Court extended his detention until August 16.
The suspect, a client with a criminal background whom Feldman had represented in a minor tort claim, allegedly shot the attorney in his office earlier this week over dissatisfaction with the handling of the case. Feldman's death was ruled a homicide; his identity was published Wednesday morning.
The murder sparked a protest by dozens of lawyers who held a minute of silence at courthouses nationwide, with the Israel Bar Association establishing an emergency team for threatened attorneys. The suspect's previous court appearance saw him claim insanity and refuse to disclose the weapon's location.
