The Sharon accident: The suspect in the bicyclist's overdrive was released for house arrest

Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court on Thursday released house arrest for Jonathan Padida, the suspect who ran over to death of Tomer Weinstein and Yaniv Logassi, near the Bnei Zion seat in Sharon while riding a bicycle, thereby rejecting the police's request to extend his detention for another five days. Erez Kaplan, a police representative, argued in court that "this is a suspected criminal offense at the highest level" and that the suspect "spent a lot of money in his vehicle to speed it up." Court Judge Erez Melamed pleaded in Kaplan: "This is a tragedy. The Israeli police did not do its job."

The police representative repeated what was alleged in the previous hearing in his case. "Dangerous from the suspect in the accident was under the influence of drugs." On the claim that he spent money to improve the speed of his vehicle, Kaplan said: "We entered the suspect's phone and were exposed to a display in which he was allegedly engaged in driving sports. It's a type of ticking bomb on the road."

Fedida's mother who was present at the hearing apparently suffered a panic attack and collapsed. She was evacuated by MDA staff and the hearing was stopped. With the resumption of the legal process, the police representative argued that Padida's arrest should be extended because "the suspect holds more than one citizenship and has more than one passport." Two fatalities in an accident are extremely difficult. "

On Tuesday, the families of Weinstein and Logsey arrived. Outside the discussion of extending Padida's arrest, members of the family appeared with hands painted in red and with signs that read "The blood of Tomer and Yaniv is not lawless" and "Drugs, 140 mph, illegal race car, disqualification license = murder." Padida, resident of Or Akiva The 29-year-old was arrested after the accident last week.

Azriel Weinstein, Tomer's father, explained: "We are here to emphasize our position, emphatically: after seven, we spoke to the cyclist community and told us this is not the first time he has traveled wildly." Weinstein added: "It's a murder to his name. It was done first. There is a pattern here of a person who gets up in the morning, drives under negation and drug influence, in an 'enhanced' vehicle. All signs were known in advance."

Idan Weinstein, Tomer's brother, said outside the courtroom that "this is no ordinary case. It is not a case of several months, it is not an innocent driver who had an unfortunate accident - it is a murderer." He said, "He (Fadida) got up in the morning, took drugs, took his murderous and illegal vehicle, drove while revoking a license and drove on 140 on a side road between seats. What happened to him after all these things. Did not call MDA, he gave evidence and realized he threw a bag of drugs. "

When Padida's parents arrived, they called out to the families of the two killed: "Your son murdered our families, you did not educate him. Ask him to pick up the drugs, not to help kill those lying on the floor."

Padida's previous arrests have been extended due to a major fear of disruption of investigation. He was suspected of, among other things, the offense of double the mind, driving the head lightly, driving at speeds incompatible with the conditions of the road and damage to property. It was also suspected that he allegedly threw a drug bag from the vehicle.

Jonathan's father, Albert Padida, was arrested on suspicion of disrupting an investigation and later released for house arrest. This, after one hearing, after the judge authorized the driver's parents to approach and embrace their son, the father allegedly used it to talk to him.
