Jerusalem Court Extends Detention of Three Minors Suspected in Beniho Razi Murder

The Jerusalem Magistrate's Court extended the detention of three minors suspected of involvement in the murder of Beniho Razi by eight days on July 16, 2026. The suspects include Agam Tzarfati, Razi's ex-partner, and Shilat Huta, who are believed to have orchestrated the attack following a violent incident at an apartment they rented in the Nahalat neighborhood. The Supreme Court recently denied a petition to block the publication of Tzarfati's name, allowing media outlets to report her identity.

According to police, the murder stemmed from a history of violence between Razi and Tzarfati. Over the weekend prior to the murder, disputes escalated into physical attacks against the two suspects, prompting them to allegedly plan retaliation against Razi and his friend. Evidence has increasingly implicated Tzarfati and Huta as the main perpetrators motivated by revenge for the abuse they suffered from Razi and his companion at the rented apartment.

The investigation continues as authorities gather further proof to support the charges of premeditated murder against the suspects. The case highlights ongoing issues of domestic violence and its tragic consequences within the community.
