Police: 'Rabbi Berland gave the instructions and sent the kidnappers and murderers''

November 10, 2021   

The investigation into the murder of Avraham Edri and the disappearance of the late Nissim Sheetrit: A police representative said today (Wednesday) at the hearing to extend the detention of Rabbi Eliezer Berland, leader of the Shuvo Banim community, that he was the one who sent and gave the instructions to the kidnappers and murderers - but was not present at the time of the acts. Alarming: 751% of those who died from the coronavirus under the age of 60 were not vaccinated Employers can receive a financial incentive of up to NIS 22,250. How? Enter According to a report in Kan News, the judge decided to release one of the suspects, whom the police attribute to planning the act and giving instructions to the other suspects, to house arrest. The police announced that they will appeal the decision. According to what the police said at the hearing, there are additional suspects who have not yet been arrested. The police said that there is evidence that there was an intention to murder, but the prosecution needs to examine whether there is sufficient evidentiary basis to file an indictment - and this will be done next week. As reported last week, one of the suspects in the kidnapping and murder of the late Nissim Sheetrit admitted during interrogation that he was the driver during the trip to the murder scene in the forest, but denied involvement in the murder itself. On the other hand, there are two other suspects who link him to the murder itself. The arrest of the suspect who admitted to being the driver was extended by five days. The judge noted in the hearing that there is a possibility that he will later consider releasing him as an alternative to detention. The judge also said that there is a narrow disagreement regarding the suspect's role and the suspect's mental state. Yesterday, it was reported in 'Kan Hadesot' that Rabbi Berland conveyed a message to his followers from prison, where he was imprisoned for five months in the rape case: "I understand that the story is over. Many people testified against me and the investigators told me that there is evidence against me. I hope that the truth will come out. "I want my suffering in prison to end." It was also reported last night that the police estimate that the chances of finding the remains of the late Nissim Sheetrit are slim, but the search continues. Three weeks ago, the police began a wave of arrests of suspects who were previously associated with the 'Shuvo Banim' community, on suspicion of involvement in the murders and disappearances of Nissim Sheetrit and Avi Edri in 1986 and 1990. Later, Rabbi Berland himself was also arrested and linked himself to the suspicions against him. Last Thursday, it was reported in 'Kan Hadesot' that the suspect, who confessed to investigators of his part and incriminated three other suspects, reenacted the kidnapping from the apartment to which Sheetrit was lured by one of the suspects - who was called the 'Shuvo Banim's seduction girl' - to the forest where he was murdered and buried. The investigators also brought Rabbi Berland together with the Hasid who confessed, in order to obtain additional details from the incident - primarily the boy's burial place. But so far, no results.
