The arrest of Georgi Zalkov, a 61-year-old resident of the Hadar HaCarmel neighborhood suspected of shooting to death yesterday (Saturday) morning in a tenant who lived with him, Dmitry Yagurov, 36, was extended this morning by eight days. Zalkov had a firearm on his license because he worked as a security guard in Carmelit. Police investigators claimed that Zalkov shot Yagurov in the head on purpose in order to cause his death.
Investigators further claimed that Yagurov was still alive even though Zalkov shot him in the head, but the latter deliberately delayed until he called for help and informed the police of what had happened. According to the suspect, he did so only after talking to his partner on the phone.
Zalkov did not deny that he shot Bigurov, who had a criminal record on the street until Zalkov housed him in his apartment, but that he was claiming self-defense. He said Yagurov was "under the influence of drugs, attacked me with a knife and tried to snatch the gun from me." Police officers who arrived at the apartment did find the knife in question, but police investigators suspect that Zalkov's version is false.And that he planted the knife in the arena.

In addition to the offense of murder after planning, the police also attribute to Zalkov the offense of obstruction of investigation. Yagurov's body was sent to the National Institute of Forensic Medicine in Abu Kabir and as a result, the date of his funeral has not yet been set. The Magistrate's Court in Haifa did not accede to the Public Defender's request to release the suspected security guard. He held that there was a reasonable suspicion linking him to the offenses attributed to him and that the strength of the reasonable suspicion, at this stage, was well-founded.
The court ruled that in his interrogation, Zalkov "clearly linked himself to the death." The court also refused to issue a restraining order on Zalkov's identifying details, and ruled that it found no real reason to do so. "The allegations raised by the defense attorney, with all due respect, are not different from the case of any other suspect and do not in themselves justify a ban on publication or a deviation from the rule," Judge Ziv Arieli noted.
Attorney Oleg Fergin, Zelikov's defense attorney, noted that he was cooperating with his investigators.
We are waiting for the police to check his version. "
