14-year-old murder case in Kiryat Gat:
Police today (Thursday) filed a prosecutor's statement against the alternative therapist, a 38-year-old Gush Etzion resident who allegedly supplied dangerous drugs to a father suspected of murdering his son in the city.
The police said that upon completion of all the investigative actions carried out by a special team set up in the Lachish area against the therapist, the suspicion grew that he was trafficking and supplied the father with dangerous drugs.

Meanwhile, the suspect's father will be brought before a judge this coming Sunday at 12:30 in the Ashkelon Magistrate's Court, for a hearing on extending his detention.
The tragic incident occurred about two weeks ago, when the police received a report of a 14-year-old boy with stab wounds.
He was allegedly stabbed by his father and critically injured in their home in the city.
