Hgray"l's attacker sent to Abarbanel

Tel Aviv Magistrate Court ordered today (Thursday) , to send for involuntary treatment for three days Yehuda Pilz , the resident from Modiin Illit suspected of attacking Hgray"l Steinman .

Yesterday (Wednesday) the judge Shmuel Melamed ordered sending him Abarbanel psychiatric hospital and the district psychiatrist prepared a preliminary review on his case.

In the afternoon, the suspect was brought to court again, and the police representative plaintiff filed a statement, he said six people were present during the event, and five of them should even be questioned, and he estimates an indictment will be served on Sunday against the suspect.

The suspect's lawyer, attorney Azriel Shaul Kravtsov said during the hearing: "suspect has been treated for mental health up to age 18 and since then was not treated from what I understand from the family. The attending physician is not alive and background on what took place with the rabbi is the result of a state of mind. The court issued compulsory hospitalization order and I understand that every case has one week to diagnose it. "

"The opinion and the request will not be a criminal case. Impossible to judge him. I want to take an alternative and should be institutionalized under civil order."

After plaintiff filed statement, a request was submitted to extend his detention.

Judge Shmuel Melamed said that the prosecutor filing statement does not deny the need to examine the possibility of the suspect on bail and release conditions, although the prosecution intends to indict the suspect for the investigation and request the extension of his detention until the end of the legal proceedings against him. However, under the circumstances - given the nature of the offenses, the infrastructure I've seen, the grounds of detention and the procedural stage of the process - there is room to grant the request, even if only partially.

The judge ordered the IPS to transfer the suspect to the hospital Abarbanel in light of the fact that "the suspect is in an acute psychotic behavior accompanied by danger to others. The suspect is in a state of non-judgment. "

His attorney asked for a gag name of the suspect, as it is within the Haredi community. But the judge said that did not find a place to prohibit publication of the fact that the procedure has been published.

New entrance to the home

Meanwhile, work began this morning installing another entrance to the house of Hgray"l.

To this day, the home of Hgray"l Steinman was wide open. The doors had no locks, and most of the day there was free entrance to the house. However Hgray"l's door was usually closed.

Yesterday, Pilz, 28, a resident of Modi'in Illit, went inside the house, attacked Hgray"l while pushing him in the chest with one hand and his other hand trying to drag him out of bed to throw him on the floor.

Because of the case it was decided to lock the front door, which has been used so far, most of the day, and increase security around Hgray"l.
