The murder of Shani Bacher on Route 4 is solved/ Israel Police spokesmen
The District Court in Haifa today (Wednesday) sentenced 21 years of actual imprisonment and suspended prison sentences to 23-year-old Itai Ben Ami from Kiryat Yam, who, two years ago, killed Moshe Alankwa, a 42-year-old lawyer, after a random encounter near a kiosk.
In a plea deal concluded by defense attorney Yuval Zemer with the prosecutor's office, Ben Ami pleaded guilty to murder with indifference, after he was originally charged with premeditated murder. Ben Ami was also ordered to pay NIS 258,000 in compensation to the victim's family - the maximum prescribed by law.
The prosecutor's office petitioned for a prison sentence of 20-25 years. A singer petitioned for an actual prison term of 14 years.
"Moses was the best thing that happened to me in my life," the victim's father, Gabriel Alankwa, told the court in tears during the arguments for the punishment. "When he murdered him, he also murdered us." , told about the father about the family that is being accompanied by attorney Tomer Ben Hamo on behalf of the SNA program (assistance for victims of capital crimes) of the Ministry of Justice.

"An unnecessary and unfortunate act of its kind", the judges noted in the sentencing while denouncing "the acts of the knife subculture which must be prevented and uprooted".
"The act of murder committed by the accused was unnecessary and regrettable like no other," noted the father of the court, Judge Avi Levy, who read from the sentence with panel judges Eran Koton and Idit Weinberger by his side, "with one swipe of a knife, he inflicted a terrible tragedy on the deceased and his family. It was difficult to remain indifferent to the sadness of the incident From the eyes of the deceased's father, who testified before us about the difficult changes that took place in his life and the lives of his family members, in view of the death of his son, there is no need to exaggerate the grief of a father at the loss of his beloved son. Indeed, such unnecessary and terrible events have often been said to be the fruit of the knife subculture. They must be uprooted and the endless pain and sorrow associated with them prevented."

"Moshe was a gifted child, from a young age he was a good child, he loved to help his friends, he did everything, he saw children who were bullied and always helped them, connected with them. He grew up, he was an athletic child, he was the champion of Israel in athletics, I have his medals and certificates. He was a diver. He was only good. At the age of 18, when he enlisted, he signed an Eddy card. He studied law, graduated successfully, both a bachelor's and master's degree. He always helped those in need, he was not interested in money, those who did not have money represented him without Payment and he only did good. Even in his death he donated his organs to save people."
The father told of the family that is unable to recover, "Since the incident, the house has been destroyed, it is not the same house. He was a friend, a child, he was everything. He supported and helped in the house. I was also injured and he was with me in the hospital and he has since held the whole house. Since he Everything was destroyed and I'm not functioning."
He concluded, "I'm devastated."

"This case is a tragedy," said defense attorney Yuval Zemer. "I know it's a tragedy from the day the investigation materials were received, and seeing the father in the hearings and here only illustrates the magnitude of the tragedy.
The tragedy is that, unlike other murder cases, this case should not have happened.
This event should not have happened.
The event should have ended when Ben Ami's two friends say to the deceased 'enjoy your beer' and everyone returns to their homes.
But like an act of the devil, like the mechanism of a precise mechanical clock whose cogs fall one inside the other, the conduct of the deceased pressed all the buttons for the accused, activated his triggers as a child who grew up in a real life that even we who are used to defendant interviews do not meet every day." "
I want a long time To say that I'm asking to be forgiven for an unreasonable thing I did," said Ben Ami, "I'm asking the family of the deceased to forgive me for what I did."
