Tzucker, who is denying the allegations, led the cult’s “tzniyus patrol”, but abandoned the group several years ago amid the allegations of abuse against his father-in-law.
According to Kan news, several weeks ago Berland instructed Sharvit in the interrogation room to provide information to the police. Sharvit confessed to being present at the kidnapping of Shitrit and said that he had been beaten to death by others but denied any knowledge of Edri’s murder and any physical involvement in Shitrit’s death.
Shitrit was allegedly beaten by the cult’s “tznius patrol” four months before he disappeared in January 1986.
In a documentary broadcast in 2020, a former student claimed that the cult murdered the boy and buried his body near Beit Shemesh, although his remains were never found.
Last week, police told the court that the current mayor of a Charedi city was involved in the murder of Edri. The mayor’s attorney responded to the allegations, saying the mayor “has nothing to do with the grave affair and has no idea how his name was insinuated into it.”
According to reports, police are also preparing to charge the son of a former senior cabinet minister as well. The suspect was allegedly one of those who beat Shitrit to death.
Berland was convicted of fraud in June and is currently in prison, as part of an 18 month plea deal.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are lots of bodies in NY and NJ. What do you expect when you have humans without police? Humans are the most dangerous carnivores. The most efficient killing machines.
ReplyDeleteOnly the USA Constitution (Ratified June 21, 1788) and it's copycats where able to stop the massive internal killings and global wars. Look how peacefully Israel is transitioning away from the unelected godoylim (gods). In the past it meant civil war and the destruction of the Bais Hamikdosh (Jerusalem Temple). Hopefully now we can rebuild very soon! Obviously, only by invitation, by being enough of a light unto the nations.
Non-democratic religious organizations are cults by definition. History's most dangerous organizations. See more at link. Hillel had the majority, but Shamai had the stick in his hand to chase away legitimate inquiry.
