Fugitive teen arrested in murder case; prison officer suspected of helping him hide

Israeli police arrested 17-year-old Avior Sasson, a suspect in the July 11 murder of 19-year-old Benayahu Razi in Jerusalem, after a two-week manhunt. Sasson was caught while traveling in a taxi near Jerusalem, with assistance from the police aerial unit. Authorities allege that an Israel Prison Service officer and Sasson's imprisoned brother aided him in evading capture by using encrypted communications. The officer, from Hod Hasharon, is suspected of obstructing justice and breaching trust, with investigators uncovering a potential romantic relationship with Sasson's brother. The prison service expressed zero tolerance for ethical violations. The murder occurred in a short-term rental apartment in the Nachlaot neighborhood, with Razi and his friend lured there before being attacked by a group of armed teenagers. Police are investigating a dispute involving Razi and his former girlfriend, Agam Tsarafi, who denies involvement, along with others suspected of orchestrating the meeting.
