‘Cold-blooded’ confession from DNA pair to Fogel murders
“This was the most shocking murder I have ever looked into,” said one veteran Shin Bet investigator after a five-week inquiry into the murder of the Fogel family in Itamar.
Two suspects whose culpability, the authorities argue, is in little doubt after DNA traces linked them to the scene of the attack, now await a military trial.
“In the questioning, they said that their motive was simply to kill Jews and Israelis and to steal weapons to carry out further attacks,” said the Shin Bet official. “They said they were perfectly willing to die as Shahids for their cause.”
