The mayor is suspected of murder and conspiracy to commit a crime.
The police are expected to request tomorrow to extend his detention by eight days.
Another person is being questioned on suspicion of involvement in the cases.
The police said: Detectives from the Jerusalem District Central Unit arrested two additional suspects during the day, on suspicion of their involvement in murder and disappearance cases that have been investigated by the police for over 30 years. These arrests join a number of arrests made in recent weeks as part of the investigation of those cases.
After their arrest, they were transferred for questioning to the central unit in the Jerusalem district and will be brought before the court tomorrow.
The Jerusalem Magistrate's Court today extended the detention of Rabbi Eliezer Berland by eight days.
At the beginning of this month, the arrest of the leader of the 'Shuvo Banim' community was extended, on suspicion of involvement in the murder and disappearance of Nissim Sheetrit in 1986 and Avi Edri 31 years ago.
The judge said in his decision that Rabbi Berland "associated himself with the suspicions and provided a detailed version.".
The police representative said at the hearing: "Evidence has been collected against Berland for his involvement and responsibility for his involvement in the murder of Avi Edri and the disappearance of Nissim Sheetrit.".
About two weeks ago, in a previous hearing to extend Rabbi Berland's detention, the police said that he was the one who sent the message and gave the instructions to the kidnappers and murderers, but was not present at the time of the acts.
