Indictment Filed Against Man Accused of Caesarea Restaurant Murder
An indictment has been filed against Doron Weizman, accused of murdering Yanis Yushbayev in a Caesarea restaurant. According to the indictment, Weizman armed himself, arrived at the restaurant in a stolen car with fake license plates, ordered food, and waited for Yushbayev. When Yushbayev left the restaurant with friends, Weizman followed him, approached, and shot him in the head at close range. Yushbayev collapsed at the scene and was pronounced dead. Weizman then fled in the car.
The prosecution stated that Weizman did not know Yushbayev prior to the incident. The indictment details that the murder was carried out with "freezing cold-bloodedness, after prior planning, in broad daylight, in a crowded restaurant." Weizman has 38 prior convictions and has served lengthy prison sentences. He is charged with intentional murder under aggravating circumstances, weapons offenses, and driving without a valid license or insurance.
The prosecution has requested that Weizman be held in custody until the end of legal proceedings.
