"It cannot be ruled out that he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder," said Judge Ruit Peleg Bar-Dain in her decision.
"At the same time, it can be determined that the likelihood of this is not high. At the same time, the suspect is not in a psychotic state."
Cpl. Oren Sashon, head of the interrogation department at the Yarkon crime-fighting unit, said at the beginning of the hearing that they still have 40 investigative operations left to carry out
. Sassoon.
"These versions do not agree with some of the versions of the witnesses who were at the event, and in addition, many things come up that we as the investigating unit must check further on the version he gives: in relation to his mental and personal state, in relation to his work situation and other places he was in."
Coroner Sassoon also added that the suspect's versions also contradict the testimonies of the two girls during their investigation.

Family members of the murdered Daniel Aminov during the hearing of the extension of the murder suspect's detention, the Magistrate's Court, January 29, 2024/Erez Harel
Attorney Miron Rosenthal, who represents the suspect, claimed at the hearing that the suspect's family members received threats on social media from Aminov's relatives who would disrupt and cause damage to a family wedding that is expected to take place soon. Attorney Rubinov, who is accompanying the victim's family, reacted angrily to this claim.
Attorney Myron Rosenthal, who represents the suspect in the commission of a murder: "On the one hand, my friend says that this is a serious case, we understand that its outcome is definitely serious, but even the head of the investigation team does not know what was in the apartment that night because he does not yet have all the things and the full picture, but on the other hand Second, it has already been determined that this is a serious murder case.
I think things should be done under the supervision of a court that is the 'responsible adult' and therefore I will ask to significantly reduce the extension of the detention."
From the decision of Judge Ruit Peleg Bar-Dane: "I state that the reasonable suspicion against the suspect has strengthened.
This is a suspect who, together with his partner, hosted another couple in his apartment.
The meeting included the use of drugs, alcohol and gas balloons and the deceased was shot with a gun that was in the suspect's possession.
The spouse of the deceased was also attacked and suffered injuries.
It should be noted that the deceased's partner is a minor and at that meeting she was provided with drugs and alcohol as well as gas balloons to inhale.
In light of the increased dangerousness on the part of the suspect and the fear of disrupting legal proceedings, I order the extension of the suspect's detention."
