Jerusalem Teen Murder Investigation Reveals Chilling Calm and No Remorse Among Suspects
On a summer Saturday in Jerusalem, a group of teenagers gathered at an ice cream shop in Beit Hanina before being summoned to Linor Sasson's apartment, where Agam Tzarfati and Shilat Huta were already present. The meeting quickly turned into a preparation for a violent attack. Some members armed themselves with knives and weapons before heading to another apartment where Beniho Razi arrived unaware of the danger awaiting him. Surveillance footage shows Razi entering calmly, but he was soon surrounded, attacked, and fatally stabbed while a video call streamed the assault to Agam and Linor waiting downstairs.
Most suspects were arrested within hours, except for Aviaor Sasson, whose name was notably avoided by others during interrogations, raising suspicions among investigators. Police officers described the suspects, some as young as 15, exhibiting hardened criminal behavior and a disturbing lack of remorse. The investigation revealed attempts to coordinate stories before arrests, with Linor allegedly briefing the group about the impending police action.
Agam Tzarfati emerged as a manipulative figure who orchestrated the attack without necessarily wielding a weapon herself. Threatening messages sent minutes before the murder and the organized nature of the assault indicated premeditation rather than a spontaneous fight. The investigators were struck by the suspects’ coldness, with no expressions of regret or concern for Razi or his family.
Razi had recently tried to distance himself from Agam and had plans to start working at Pizza Hut, highlighting the tragic loss of a young life with future aspirations. Police also revealed that shortly after the incident, Agam and Shilat visited their sister, a Jerusalem police officer, who failed to report the information immediately, later admitting it was a mistake.
The case remains under investigation, with authorities continuing to piece together the full extent of the planning and the roles of each suspect. The chilling demeanor and silence surrounding Aviaor Sasson remain a key focus for solving the case.
