Linne Far, who was the first to publicly accuse modeling agent Shi Avital of sexual assault, is now speaking out for the first time about her arrest on suspicion of murder. Four years after she bravely came forward against Avital, Far found herself at the center of a severe murder investigation. She describes her current state as feeling hated by the entire country and unable to live a normal life as a mother.
Far recounts her past as a whistleblower against Avital, stating that her courage led many other women to speak out. She contrasts this with her current situation, where she is accused of murder, a role she finds incompatible with her past actions. Her lawyer, Uri Nachmias, asserts that she is not a murderer, acknowledging her flaws but emphasizing her strengths.
Far details her struggles with drug addiction, which she claims began as a way to cope with the pain and fear stemming from her experiences. She explains that her addiction involved substances like ecstasy, cocaine, and ketamine, which she used to forget her problems, including her child. She was arrested on October 15, 2025, following an incident at her apartment in Petah Tikva.
According to the investigation, three individuals, David Krichli, Bar Otmezgin, and Maor Elisha, were present at Far's apartment for a drug party. Shalom Nissim was invited by Far, whom she described as a long-time close friend. During the night, an altercation occurred, and Nissim was allegedly thrown or jumped from the balcony to his death. The motive remains unclear, with theories including a financial dispute between Krichli and Nissim, or a planned attack orchestrated by Far against Nissim.
Far claims she was heavily under the influence of drugs and has no clear memory of the events leading to Nissim's death or her arrest. Her lawyer argues that she is being unfairly blamed because the incident occurred in her home. However, the lawyer for one of the other suspects, Assaf Gonen, stated that Far provided contradictory accounts to the police. Another lawyer, Shai Roda, also questioned her credibility, noting her inconsistent statements.
Despite the murder case against all suspects being closed due to insufficient evidence, the family of the victim remains convinced of Far's guilt. Far, who has been in and out of rehabilitation, states she has been clean for 11 months and eight days, crediting a private rehabilitation center for saving her life. She expresses deep remorse and pain over Nissim's death, feeling his spirit is still present.
