An ultra-Orthodox mayor was summoned today (Sunday) for questioning with a warning in the murder and disappearance case in Jerusalem.

The complex affair, which began 35 years ago, deals with the disappearance of the boy Nissim Sheetrit and the murder of Avi Edri.



Earlier this month, the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court discussed extending the detention of the seven suspects in the case - including Rabbi Eliezer Berland, leader of the Shuvu Banim community.

During the hearing, a police spokesman said the leader of the Shuvu Banim community was the sender according to the new killers in the affair.

He added that Berland "cooperated and linked himself to the offenses attributed to him".

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.
