Four months after his brother Ovenach was killed in a bomb attached to his car in Afula, Avi Chilut Dinko was arrested while armed with a semi-automatic pistol, a magazine, eight bullets, and a folding knife. Police assess that Dinko, a well-known figure with a extensive criminal record, was on his way to carry out a revenge murder related to the conflict. The arrest, which began with an encounter with a patrol car on a routine night patrol on September 10 and ended in a chase, was broadcast on the main evening news. According to the indictment in his brother's murder case, the bomb was attached to the car after the suspect waited in the area for hours. The explosion occurred about forty minutes after the brothers left home, when Ovenach returned alone. The prosecution filed an indictment against Avi for weapons offenses, assaulting a police officer, and other charges. Investigators believe his arrest prevented another murder.
