Mediators, 'enforcers', a policewoman and a prison officer: The murder of Binyahu Razi - making sense of it all
Nearly three weeks after the murder of Binyahu Razi (19) in the Nahlaot neighborhood of Jerusalem, the investigation reveals a complex picture: advance planning, a toxic relationship, a series of mediators, alleged involvement of a policewoman and a prison officer, and attempts to obstruct the investigation. The main suspect is his ex-girlfriend Agam Tzarfati, who allegedly ordered the murder together with her friend Shilat Huta. The main suspect in carrying out the murder is Avior Sasson (17), arrested after a manhunt. His mother Linor is suspected of aiding and obstructing the investigation.
Nearly three weeks have passed since the murder of Binyahu Razi (19) in Jerusalem, and the investigation reveals a wide-ranging affair. The murder occurred in a rented apartment in the heart of the Nahlaot neighborhood, on a small street leading to the Mahane Yehuda market. Binyahu and his friend arrived at the place after allegedly being invited by his ex-girlfriend Agam Tzarfati and her friend Shilat Huta. Within minutes, the outing turned into a deadly ambush: several youths were summoned to the scene following the girls' claim that Binyahu and his friend had attacked them. Binyahu was stabbed to death, his friend was wounded and called emergency services. The friend's testimony became central to the investigation. At the heart of the investigation is the stormy relationship between Binyahu and Tzarfati, which escalated in the months before the murder. Binyahu filed a police complaint about threats. Tzarfati is considered a central suspect: the police claim she was one of the instigators of the murder, watched the events via video call, and sent a threatening message to Binyahu before he arrived at the apartment. Her friend Huta is suspected of being a partner in the planning, was in the apartment, and managed the video call. The main suspect in carrying out the murder is Avior Sasson (17), who fled and was arrested after a manhunt. His mother Linor is suspected of aiding in the organization and escape. David Keren (19) is suspected as a contact person. Unusual developments include the arrest of a policewoman, Tzarfati's sister, on suspicion of obstructing the investigation, and a prison officer who had a romantic relationship with a prisoner, Sasson's brother, and passed him a phone used to coordinate assistance. The investigation focuses on four circles of involvement.
