Zvi Gur, who was convicted in 1980 of kidnapping and murdering child Oron Yarden, died last week of cancer at the age of 74 after 41 years in prison. Rami Sapir was the driver who arrested the killer of Oron Yarden, who arrested him when he was on the run from the police in 1980. In an interview with Golan Yokfaz and Anat Davidov on 103FM, he told this morning (Sunday) about the case.

"I was a bus driver on the Dan Company on line 19 from Rishon Lezion to Tel Aviv, in the Ramat Eliyahu area in the evening around 21:00. "I could not identify him because he was wearing a hoodie."

"He filed the bill not on the hand money but with the sleeve, it was a little weird. He did not touch the money," he said. "Then an older woman who was sitting in front of him turned to me and said, 'I think Zvi Gur is with us on the bus. A stop after we left Ramat Eliyahu, it was a matter of two minutes.'

At this point, he recounts, "I approach him and ask for identification, he does not identify with me. I did not identify with certainty.

"I changed the line numbers and drove straight to the nearest police station. Since I was supposed to travel on line 19 from Rishon Lezion to Tel Aviv, I did not want the traveling public waiting for me to know that there was line 19 and did not stop at the station."

"There were a few lone passengers but they all cooperated and understood what it was all about. No one said why you were traveling and not stopping," he said.

"I arrive at the police station, there was a soldier sitting at the end of the bus. I told him to stand here so that no one got off the bus. I went out, locked the doors from outside, went to my diary at the police station and called him straight to the bus. .
