Murder

Police suspect the three men, two brothers and their cousin from Jaljulia, were shot before the vehicle was set on fire early Sunday.

The court also ordered the defendant to pay Rabi’s family NIS 258,000, the maximum compensation available under the law, and imposed an additional suspended prison term.

Lindsay Clancy, 36, strangled her three children with exercise bands in January 2023 in the basement of their home before cutting herself with a knife and jumping from a second-story window.

If the jury does not reach a verdict and a mistrial is declared, prosecutors would need to decide whether to retry the case, which has included more than 80 witnesses and more than 300 exhibits.

“The path to physical violence first passes through verbal violence,” Amit told a special Israel Bar Association conference in Tel Aviv, convened following the killing of attorney Arbel Feldman.

Prosecutors do not dispute that Clancy had been dealing with mental health issues, but argued she was able to appreciate the wrongfulness of killing her children and intentionally chose to do so.

Davis told the judge "he plans to appeal this matter." Several people in the gallery wiped away tears and hugged a prosecutor as the court adjourned.

The decision does not close the investigation or clear the suspects, but without knowing how Dayan died, police have been unable to establish the evidence needed to sustain a murder allegation.

Police said a serious indictment is expected in the coming days, together with a request to keep the suspect detained until the end of the proceedings.

Video footage of the incident showed Yushayev leaving a restaurant at the gas station before the suspected killer approached him from behind and shot him at close range in the head.
