Following "Maariv"'s exposé in the Eldar Dayan affair - this is the police's direction

The full report of the Institute of Forensic Medicine in the Eldar Dayan case determines that due to the condition of the remains, the cause of death cannot be established. Sources assess that the report may complicate substantiating the murder suspicion. The police will attempt to gather alternative evidence, but the move is considered difficult due to the delay in handling the affair.

The full report of the Institute of Forensic Medicine in the Eldar Dayan affair was received by the police today, and determines that due to the condition of the remains, which lay in the field for about two weeks and were damaged by wild animals, the cause of death could not be determined. Sources familiar with the details assess that the finding may significantly complicate substantiating the murder suspicion. The police will not rush to drop the murder charge at this stage and will try to gather other evidence, but the move is considered difficult and almost impossible due to the considerable delay in filing the missing person report for Dayan and in the searches for him. For the lawyers of the suspects, the fact that the report does not determine a cause of death is a relief that could lead to the removal of the murder charge and a significant reduction of the sentence.
