A recorded conversation between two women accused of planning the murder of Benyahu Razi, Agam Zarfati and Shilat Huta, has been revealed, with their lawyers claiming it exposes an interrogation "tactic" designed to incriminate them. The conversation, which took place in a detention cell, was broadcast by i24NEWS Legal Desk Editor Li Ayish.
During the discussion, Huta asked Zarfati if she had seen a video, to which Zarfati replied she saw Benyahu "going up with a cigarette." Zarfati described feeling her pulse rise and stomach pains after watching the video. The two then discussed accusations made against them during questioning. Huta recounted being told by investigators, "You sent these people and murdered him," while Zarfati advised Huta that the interrogators were trying to "break you emotionally" and "scare you" to elicit false confessions.
Zarfati claimed she had not told the investigators anything. Huta asked Zarfati about the moments after the murder, and Zarfati confirmed she had spoken about her mother and another person named Nofar, with Huta confirming they both gave the investigators the same answers. Huta stated she told investigators she did not know Benyahu had been murdered, and Zarfati noted they were "caught" for going up to the apartment. Huta described being in shock and leaving after witnessing an argument.
The conversation also revealed the women's plans for their court appearance. Zarfati declared, "I'm going into the courtroom crying, wait and see what I'll do to them there." Huta argued that if they had intended to murder him, they could have done so four years prior. Zarfati expressed concern about surviving in detention, comparing it to "Neve Tirtza" (a women's prison) and suggesting Benyahu was likely laughing.
This development follows a recent court ruling that found insufficient evidence to support murder charges against Zarfati and Huta, though probable cause exists for aiding and abetting murder.
