The trial in Roman Zadorov continued today (Sunday) in the Nazareth District Court, with students studying in the classroom of Tair Rada, a former employer of Dzorov and who was employed as a school cleaner at the time, expected to testify.

The evidence phase of Zadorov's retrial began last month, and is expected to last about a year, with two days of hearings each week.

Victor Kol Nikov worked as a cleaner at the Nofei Golan school where the murder took place, now over 80 years old, and he says he does not remember much of the incident.

He had previously testified that he had seen drops of blood in the boys' bathroom.

This testimony intersected with things Zadorov said in his confession that he had cleaned his knife in the sinks in the boys' bathroom.

In view of the fact that the witness remembers almost nothing of the murder, and refers to the transcripts of his interrogations, explains the head of the court, Judge Cola, that 15 years have passed and the witness does not remember.

Advocate Yarom Halevi, representing the defendant, responded to this with sarcasm, that the witness Dr. Herzog, the witness last week, "actually had a good memory."

According to him, the witness did not clean the boys' services at all on the day of the incident.

"Apparently with the advent of winter a pool of blood forms," ​​Halevy said cynically to the displeasure of the judges, who remarked that he could not know what weight they would give to any testimony heard.

Halevy later showed photos taken after the murder, which indicate that the witness did not clean the boys' toilets that day.

The witness claimed that he did not remember any of this.

Later in the day, Reuven Janah will testify that Zadorov was supposed to start work at his home the day after the murder.

In the evening, after the murder, Janah called Zadorov and told him not to come to work the next day because something had happened to his friend's daughter.

Zadorov told his wife after the call that a girl had fallen in the bathroom.

Two who were then students at the school will also testify and testified that they saw Tair ascend the stairs towards the level where the toilets where she was murdered. Their testimonies in the past slightly contradicted each other and did not intersect.

Testimony today will join the testimony of Dr. Eran Herzog, the doctor called to the scene of the murder of Tair Rada to issue a death certificate, issued last week. According to Herzog, he was detained outside the murder scene for a long time and after being allowed in The toilet cubicle, and asked that she be taken out.

According to the experts: blood could not flow from the body long after the murder.

Herzog's testimony is significant to the issue at the center of the retrial, which concerns blood that was spilled at the murder scene and that was drowned at the scene and left traces of traces that did not belong to a particular person.

The retrial was conducted mainly due to an expert opinion, which the defense presented to the Supreme Court, in which it was argued that blood could not have leaked from the body long after the murder.

From this, the defense claims, it appears that blood flowed from the body only near the murder and therefore the same unidentified traces belong to the killer - who is not Zadorov.
