Special to Walla !: Yael Melnik's sister about the family's stormy week
Yesterday the phone call came from the prosecution, there is a decision: Edouard Katzura will be charged with aggravated murder.
I felt relieved.
It was a stormy week, a lot of tension, when only a few days ago, I realized that the prosecutor's office was going to release him.
I did not believe that before enlistment, I would find myself in such a war.
But a waiver was not an option

It was a stormy week.
A roller coaster of emotions.
Lots of crying, stress, every moment feels like the worst thing of all is about to happen, there is not too much time to pick myself up, must be strong, for me, for grandma and grandpa.
Just yesterday at 12 noon I gave myself a moment to breathe.
It was in the cemetery in Or Akiva.
We got there right after the brief court hearing, I wanted to tell my sister that the bad guy who ended her life would no longer roam the streets free, he would be charged with murder under aggravated circumstances.
I did not have great joy in my heart at that moment, the pain in front of the tombstone was immense, but I hugged my grandparents and we felt a little comfort.

Ten days before
The situation is bad, very bad. I understand that by all indications they will not accuse Edward Katzura of murder, it is hard for me to say his name even, for me he is a murderer. Trying to organize demonstrations, breaking your head over what to do. Can not imagine that this terrible man, the manipulator, the pervert, the sick and the liar, would not pay a very heavy punishment for what he did. He manipulated my sister, took advantage of her, played with her heart and thoughts and finally took her life. She was only 17 and two months old. God. For the demonstration we brought sculpted hands painted red and stuck in the ground in the courtyard, we wanted to shock, we wanted them to hear our cry, to see the situation as it is, as this scum left my little sister. But little by little we realized that in the prosecution going backwards, his release was approaching. On Monday it was already the climax, I shouted at the judge that she was abnormal wanting to release him, I begged her not to do it. Grandma fainted. We felt as if we had once again received the terrible news of all. Adv. Sharon (Zaggi Pinchas) and Adv.D. Efrat (Nachmani Bar) who joined the struggle began to turn the bowl. Their message was clear "common sense and common sense" and in a conversation that was in the prosecution, Efrat, came out on them. She said that if you connect everything that happened - it's just murder, they will stop asking for more farms and more opinions. She even said that they might be waiting for an opinion from NASA according to which an alien landed minutes after the scum left the place and he murdered my sister. I was surprised that there were security guards in the room.Are we the dangerous ones here? You were confused !.Are we the dangerous ones here? You were confused !.

Our message was clear. sharp. District Court President Ron Shapira, gave me back a half smile that reversed the release decision. Changed us all day, from the most humble decision we could hear from Judge Tal Tadmor Zamir who ordered his release, to the best and correct decision we could hear on the judge's decision at noon, in the best way, Ron Shapira actually based the indictment on the prosecution, claimed what they claimed From the beginning, that this scum is dangerous to a high degree, that he started working in the psychiatric hospital to exploit girls and boys in vulnerable condition and so on.
We continued with media noise. I'm everywhere, even Grandma was deep in the battle. I'm proud of her, she's a real lioness. I barely ate and drank, I found myself talking legal terms I had never heard. I could not believe that in the last weeks before enlistment, I would find myself in a war like this. But giving up was not an option in any way, I was also willing to go on a hunger strike after the missile building in Haifa where the prosecutor's office sits.
Yesterday, a little after 09:00 in the morning, the phone call came from the prosecutor's office, there is a decision.
Murder under aggravated circumstances.
I felt relieved.
My shoulders got lighter after the load they had on them.
The court hearing was already short and from there we got to the cemetery to tell my sister the gospel.

It would not have succeeded like that if the public had not been behind me. Behind us. Not a chance. I'm all 18 and a half years old. Who would listen to me? I felt tremendous support. Lots of people I do not know strengthened and encouraged. We launched a mass funding campaign for this struggle "Do not kill us twice", we called him, we felt that if this evil man was released we would feel that we had murdered Little Yael again. Many hundreds have supported and still do so because this struggle is not over.
It will only end when the killer receives life imprisonment, with no pardons or discounts. It will only end if all the failures of this painful affair are examined and examined to the end. I would be happy if you would join my journey, it is not only for my little sister, but for every girl and woman in the face of violence https://beactive.co.il/project/66235
And if I needed another little reinforcement that even made me smile, it came from an unexpected place.
Jonathan Margie asked to talk to me, wanted to encourage, strengthen, tell me I would be strong.
I realized how much the story came and touched everyone, young and old.
I told him about my sister, about the struggle.
At the end of the call he even invited me to his upcoming show.
It could have been perfect if I could go with my sister, but she's not with me anymore.
I do not yet know if I will go, but if I am there, it will probably be a sign for me that I have won.
At least for now.
