The Haifa District Court will hold a hearing today (Thursday) on extending the detention of Walla Khalaila, who is suspected of murdering Sapir Nahum.

This, after his detention was extended for the last time in a week.

Meanwhile, at the request of Walla !, the president of the Haifa District Court, Judge Dr. Ron Shapira, allowed the publication of the sentence in the trial of brother Alaa Khalaila, who sent him to a long prison term, as part of which he is still a detainee in Kfar Qara in Wadi Ara. The murder of the late Sapir Nahum on suspicion of conspiracy to make her disappear even though in his interrogations he initially claimed alibi, but was eventually released on restrictive conditions after the Central Coast District Unit investigating the affair denied his involvement.

The indictment in the murder case, which has now been released, states that 38-year-old Alaa Khalaila, a former resident of Majd al-Krum, was in conflict with one Yasser Hassan from Kfar Rama, 21 at the time of his death.

Khalaila, who is only six months younger than him, was also about 21 at the time. The two arranged to meet at an olive grove on the outskirts of Kfar Rama, near a waste site where they did meet in the early evening of February 6.

According to the indictment in which Khalaila confessed, he drew a weapon and fired at the head and body of the deceased Yasser Hassan several bullets, nine of which hit him. The prosecution claimed against him that he committed the murder in cold blood, but two years after the incident, The prosecution brought his conviction for murder, and in a plea deal with his defense attorney at the time, Adv. Shlomi Blumenfeld, believed that it would be right to "end the case in an arrangement that does justice to the victim and in which the defendant will be punished in full severity."

Kamal Salman Hassan, the father of the deceased, did not reconcile with the deal.

He argued that the plea agreement was not acceptable to him and told the court that he was not willing to agree to the deal "when it comes to a defendant who he said murdered his son in cold blood, an organized and planned murder."

The judges noted in the sentence, "We understand well the heart of the deceased's father," but accepted the prosecution's explanation of the evidentiary difficulty it faced.

The tribunal's judge, Justice Yitzhak Grill, Justice Aryeh Razi and Justice Menachem Finkelstein accepted the plea deal, convicted Alaa Khalaila of murder and sentenced him to 20 years in prison and another six months of actual imprisonment (also for a suspended sentence against him) from his arrest in May 2006. He was supposed to be released at the end of 2026, but last year he was released as a prisoner with a license and he was deported to Kafr Qara and carried an electronic handcuff on his body.
