Roman Zdorov, who is accused of murdering Tair Rada, continued this morning (Sunday) in his testimony in the Nazareth District Court.

At the hearing, Zadorov's diary was presented with knives.

According to Zadorov, this was done while serving in the army between 1998-1996.

In another part of the hearing, the prosecution referred to Zadorov's treatment of the school's students.

"You said that your attitude toward Israelis was fine," prosecutors Meital Chen Rosenfeld and Sharon Har Zion said.

"But about the students you said they were idiots, that they spray like a machine gun."

Zdorov replied: "I said they were not educated, I was not angry with them."

"I came to work and did not address them," Zadorov continued.

Prosecutors tried to paint Zadorov's behavior around the murder: "Why call them idiots? They are just students. You called Ethiopians monkeys rummaging through garbage. Why do you need them at all. Where does this hatred for them come from?".

Zdorov replied: "I'm sorry about that, but I need to mention what the background to the conversation was, but I have nothing against them."

To which the plaintiffs responded: "Contrary to what you presented yourself as non-violent, you minimized your violence. You gave a wrong picture. You accumulated a lot of anger and rage that erupted over the rest."

Zdorov replied: "Not true. It was just a conversation with the dubber."

So far the investigation has focused on the details Zadorov provided in his investigations and the murder demonstrations he presented to investigators and dubbed in the detention cell.

On the fifth day of the interrogation he testified that Rada's hair on the day of the murder was sloppily gathered.

"The details you provided prove that you are the killer," the lawyer, Advocate Meital Chen Rosenfeld, slammed him, noting that Tair Rada did wear a rubber band on her wrist

. The prosecution, this detail, which Zadorov saw as he followed her up the stairs to the restrooms, joins a male who wore gray and black jeans and sneakers. At school in the days after the murder, he showed that the students' clothes were more varied.

Tair Rada was murdered inside a toilet cubicle at Nofei Golan School in Katzrin on December 6, 2006. Almost three years later, the Nazareth District Court convicted Roman Zdorov, a foreign citizen and resident of Katzrin, of murdering the girl.

The verdict set aside a dense fabric of evidence that led to his conviction.

Since then, however, the affair has continued to occupy the media and public opinion, and despite the firm verdict - the justice system has discussed it several more times and left the conviction intact.

Zdorov, who worked in flooring at Rada's school, was arrested several days after the murder, confessed to the murder and even remarried.

He then retracted his confession, and as the trial progressed the defense was able to raise doubts among the public that Zadorov was indeed the killer.

Last summer, Chief Justice Hanan Meltzer ruled that a retrial should be held.
