Suspect in lawyer’s murder remanded for further 12 days

The suspect accused of murdering lawyer Arbel Feldman has been remanded in custody for a further 12 days until 16 August. The extension was ordered at a hearing on Wednesday as investigations into the killing continue. Feldman, a practising attorney, was found dead in circumstances that have prompted a major police investigation. The decision to extend the suspect’s detention suggests that authorities believe there is sufficient evidence to warrant continued questioning and that there may be a flight risk or concerns about interference with the investigation. The case has drawn significant attention within Israel’s legal community, given the victim’s professional standing.
