Main Suspect Still at Large in Jerusalem Airbnb Murder of Beniho Razi

More than a week after Beniho Razi was murdered in an Airbnb apartment in the Nahalat neighborhood of Jerusalem, the main suspect remains at large despite extensive police arrests. According to sources familiar with the investigation, the suspect is considered a key participant in the murder and is currently on the run, with police continuing their search.

Investigation materials reveal a new version from one suspect claiming that shortly before the murder, the group gathered near the apartment for a reconciliation meeting involving handshakes and attempts to resolve disputes. Only afterward did they enter the apartment where Razi was staying, and where the brutal killing occurred.

Razi reportedly arrived at the apartment after arranging to meet two young women, Shilat Huta and Agam Tzarfati, his ex-partner. Additional suspects later arrived, and during the event, Razi was attacked with various weapons and killed. Another person present was lightly injured and managed to escape.

Police have arrested several suspects, including men and women believed to have played roles in planning, executing, and fleeing the crime scene. Among those questioned was a policewoman related to one suspect, suspected of obstructing justice by failing to report the incident promptly; she denies the allegations.

Prior to the murder, Razi and his ex-partner Tzarfati had a turbulent relationship involving mutual police complaints and restraining orders. About ten months before the murder, Razi accused her of threats and sending people to intimidate him.

Police allege that three women, Tzarfati (19), Huta (19), and Linor Sasson (50), orchestrated the murder, inciting conflict, involving criminal elements, and allegedly watching the murder unfold while others carried out the attack. The actual perpetrators, minors, are in custody. Police declined to provide further details on the ongoing investigation.
