Israeli police are investigating threats made against Dekla Razi, the mother of murder victim Benyahu Razi. Razi filed a complaint against Edna Levi, the mother of Linor Sasson, who is accused of aiding in the murder, and grandmother of Avi'or Sasson, the main suspect in the killing. Razi claims Levi has been threatening, harassing, and defaming her, stating, "We fear escalation. This is hell for us."
Levi was previously questioned about a month ago after allegedly bringing a forged legal document to the hospital where her daughter was admitted. The document purportedly granted her permission to visit her daughter "whenever convenient."
The murder of Benyahu Razi occurred in July 2026 at a vacation apartment in the Nahlaot neighborhood of Jerusalem. Seven individuals, including members of the Sasson family, face serious charges. According to the indictment, Avi'or Sasson, Linor Sasson's son, is the primary suspect, accused of stabbing Razi to death following a personal dispute. Sasson claims he acted in self-defense.
Linor Sasson is charged with aiding and abetting the murder and obstructing justice. She is suspected of participating in the initial planning at her home, transporting the group armed with weapons and clubs to the murder scene, and helping her son and others escape. She was recently hospitalized with suspected stroke symptoms, days after complaining of headaches, vision problems, and difficulty walking.
Last week, three months after the murder, the Jerusalem District Court ruled there was insufficient evidence to indict Benyahu Razi's former partner, Agam Zarfati, and Shilat Chuta for murder. However, the court noted that "there is prima facie evidence of the offense of aiding murder," according to their lawyers, Ro'i Politi and Omri Stern, who represent Zarfati from the Public Defender's Office.
