Two women suspected in deadly Jerusalem stabbing named; allegedly ordered hit on victim

Two women, Linor Sasson, 50, and Shilat Houta, 19, have been identified as suspects in the fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Benayahu Razi in a Jerusalem vacation rental. A third unnamed woman is also under arrest. Police believe Sasson, a known criminal, summoned perpetrators after Houta claimed Razi and his friend assaulted her and the unnamed woman. A police representative stated of Houta, “She ordered the murder. After they were [allegedly] attacked in the apartment by the two young men, she resolved to take revenge.” Three minors are suspected of carrying out the stabbing. Razi’s mother denies the assault claims and states her son had restraining orders against the unnamed woman, whom she alleges stalked him.
