Israeli police detained two individuals for questioning on suspicion of involvement in a brawl with missing person Eldar Dayan and his friends, according to reports from ynet. The full briefing is available on the outlet's website.
Two individuals were detained for questioning on Wednesday afternoon in connection with a brawl that involved missing 23-year-old Eldar Dayan and his friends, according to ynet. The development marks a new line of inquiry in the case, which has been under investigation since Dayan disappeared on July 17.
On Tuesday, police arrested two additional suspects in the disappearance case, raided an apartment in central Israel, and found a shirt that may belong to Dayan, as The Zioneer reported at 12:50 Jerusalem. The investigation has previously considered that Dayan may be hiding due to involvement in a hit-and-run accident, with police assessing he is not kidnapped. The case was also transferred to the Central District due to suspicion of a brawl.
As The Zioneer has reported over the past week, the investigation has involved multiple shifts in theory, including initial concerns of kidnapping. Two of Dayan's friends have been arrested on suspicion of obstruction of justice.
Dayan's whereabouts remain unknown. The connection between the brawl and his disappearance is still under investigation, and the shirt found on Tuesday has not been confirmed as belonging to him.
