Agam Tsarfi Named as Suspect in Banyahu Razi Murder

Agam Tsarfi was identified Friday as a suspect in the murder of her former partner, Banyahu Shalom Razi, at a Jerusalem Airbnb. The Supreme Court heard her public defenders' request to keep her name sealed, but they withdrew the appeal after Justice Ofer Grosskopf questioned their case. Police then cleared Tsarfi's identity for publication. Investigators suspect she and Shilat Huta helped organize an attack after an alleged confrontation at the Nahlaot apartment, waited in a vehicle while others entered, watched events by video call and left without summoning help; Tsarfi denies involvement.

Difference in reporting

Sources factually disagree on the suspect identification in i24's page body: C14 and Walla identify Agam Tsarfi as Razi's former partner and a murder suspect; i24's updated headline metadata names Tsarfi, but its older article body still names Shilat Huta and Mazal Linor Sasson. The remaining facts are uniform: Razi was killed at a Jerusalem Airbnb and investigators suspect women helped arrange the attack.
