Police arrested two more suspects this morning (Thursday), on suspicion of involvement in the murders and the absence of Nissim Sheetrit and Avi Edri in the Jerusalem area about 30 years ago.

The suspects, in their 60s, residents of Jerusalem and Petah Tikva.

The arrest of the suspects joins the arrests made on Sunday, when two men and a woman from the Shuvu Banim community of Rabbi Eliezer Berland were arrested.

On Tuesday, three more suspects were arrested.

According to the suspicion, all eight detainees had a role in the murder of Avi Edri and in the disappearance of the boy Nissim Sheetrit.

With the arrest of the first three suspects, former and current community officials began to turn to and consult with lawyers for fear some would be summoned for questioning and even arrest.

In January 1986, Nissim Sheetrit, a 17-year-old ultra-Orthodox young man, disappeared after arranging to meet Mike, a man who had met Sheetrit and his friends a week earlier.

According to testimonies and publications at the time, Sheetrit had been violently attacked earlier by the modesty guards operating at the time on the Haredi street.

Attempts over the years to locate Mike, the anonymous man, have stalled.

Avi Edri's body was found in 1990. Edri was the director of a yeshiva in Jerusalem and his body was found lying in the woods.

Both men are suspected of involvement in both cases, while the woman is suspected of trying to seduce the boy at the request of those involved in his disappearance.
