New Details Emerge in Infant Formula Poisoning Case in Jerusalem
Investigators have uncovered new details regarding the alleged poisoning of infant formula jars in Jerusalem. The suspect, Yan Shamla, reportedly took products from "Zol U'Begal" supermarket branches in the city, injected them with anesthetic substances, and then returned them to the shelves, according to a report by "Kan News." Police have documented Shamla's actions, though his motives remain unclear.
Shamla, a resident of southern Israel in his 40s, was arrested last week. His name was cleared for publication about a week ago. He is suspected of intentionally poisoning food intended for infants and toddlers, using poison to endanger lives, theft, and the negligent handling of medications.
The Jerusalem Magistrate's Court is expected to hear a statement of charges against Shamla today, with an indictment anticipated in the coming days. During a hearing on extending his detention, the court also addressed Shamla's psychiatric background. His defense attorney claimed Shamla suffers from bipolar disorder.
The police stated that Shamla was sent for an evaluation at the "Eitanim" psychiatric hospital shortly after his arrest, where he was deemed fit for detention.
