Family of Eldar Dayan Condemns Police After Suspects Released to House Arrest
The aunt of Eldar Dayan, who was murdered, has issued a powerful letter condemning the police and judicial authorities following the release of seven suspects to house arrest. This decision came after a forensic report failed to establish a definitive cause of death, leading to the suspects' release. In her letter, she expressed deep anguish over the condition in which Eldar's body was found and criticized the police for delays and investigative failures that allowed suspects to alter their testimonies and obstruct justice.
She accused the Dimona police of inaction, stating that suspects were repeatedly interrogated and released, which wasted crucial time that could have been used to prevent evidence tampering and locate Eldar's body sooner. The aunt also directed sharp criticism at the Israeli Police, the State Prosecutor's Office, and political leadership, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, for failing to intervene effectively despite the family's pleas.
The letter concluded with a vow to continue fighting for justice, emphasizing that Eldar's blood is not worthless and that the family will not remain silent about the failures and lies surrounding the case. The police had announced their withdrawal of the murder suspicion after the autopsy report was inconclusive, which triggered the release of all suspects to house arrest. The family remains determined to uncover the truth and hold those responsible accountable.
