In a hearing on extending the detention of Maxim Berman and Omri Peretz in the Eldar Dayan murder case, the police admitted there is no forensic finding linking Berman to the murder. The police representative answered in the negative to the defense attorney's question about whether such a finding exists, and even clarified: 'We did not claim throughout all the hearings that Maxim struck the deceased.' However, he noted that 'it is no secret that Maxim threatened to murder Eldar Dayan,' but admitted there is no documentation of a brawl between the two. The defense attorney also asked whether the suspicion against members of the second group in the case had strengthened to the level of a causing-death offense, and was answered in the negative. Nevertheless, the police representative noted that new evidence had been received that led to arrests after a covert investigation. According to him, all directions in the case are still within the realm of suspicions and are being examined as part of the investigation. The article reports an apparent weakening of the evidentiary foundation against Berman, while emphasizing the absence of forensic findings and documentation.
