The court today (Monday) extended the detention of the suspect in the abduction of the girl in Pardes Hanna-Karkur by six days.
The suspect's defense attorney, Advocate Boris Sherman: "The incident is neither sexual nor nationalistic. The suspect denies a sexual background and an investigator cooperated. He agreed to a brief extension of detention and the court ordered a psychiatric examination."
As you may recall, a resident of Pardes Hanna was arrested last night (Sunday through Monday) on suspicion of his involvement in the attempted abduction of the girl last week at the local council.
The suspect, a 30-year-old man, was brought in for questioning at the offices of the Coast District Central Unit (SAR), whose investigation into the abduction attempt was entrusted to her over the weekend.

After the arrest of the suspect, the girl's mother said she was relieved: "For this we fought, for them to catch him. We are fighting for our daughter and for other girls. My daughter is constantly in interrogations, we do not sit quietly. We have been informed by the police that a suspect has been arrested, but we "We still do not know all the details. We will know more later."
On her daughter's condition she said: "She is recovering. She is very brave, there are no such things. Well done to her, I would not have stood it at her age. She was very lucky that he did not succeed in his plan."

According to the suspect, a suspect tried to put a 16-year-old girl in the trunk of his car who was engaged in sports activities at the place, but was unable to do so - and fled the scene.
After the abduction attempt, the girl testified to police that while she was training in the evening, a man with an Eastern European accent suddenly approached her.
"He grabbed me and tried to put me in the trunk of the vehicle, which was open. I shouted for help and people who were in the area approached the vehicle. He saw them approaching, left me, got in the vehicle and fled. I did not recognize the vehicle number, not sure he had license plates. "I know this person, I have never seen him before," she said.
