After that, the argument between the couple continued, during which the defendant left the house and shortly afterwards Diana also left the house. When the two returned to the house, the argument rekindled. At this point, Raz’s decision to kill Deadbee was in her heart. To do this, Raz took out an 8.20-meter-long rope, called his three older children, sat them on small chairs in the living room and tied them up, while the baby sat in a dining chair next to them. Next, Raz picked up a kitchen knife with a 20-inch-pointed blade, and placed it on the dining room table.
When Diana noticed her children tied to chairs, she got angry and shouted at Raz to explain his actions. In response, he began to hit her in front of the children, grabbed her by the shirt in the neck area with both hands, pulled her towards the front door, and next to her he pressed his hand to her neck and strangled her tightly. During the fight, Diana shouted at her 7-year-old daughter to call a neighbor for help.
Upon hearing her mother’s cries, the girl managed to free herself from the tying. She tried to reach the stairs in order Reaching the neighbor to help her mother, but Raz pulled his daughter tightly in her hand, knocked her down the stairs and caused her injuries.
Diana, fearing for her life, tried to open the door of the house in order to escape, but the defendant prevented her from doing so, closed the door, took the knife from the table and stabbed her twice in the thigh. Diana continued to wrestle a faucet, tried to take the knife from him, and at this point he pulled his gun out of its holster. In front of their four children, while Diana begged for her life, Amir fired a bullet at her, one of which he blessed – and then fired at Diana’s head.
He then called his mother and his police chief and asked them to come to his house soon. Only about an hour and a half after the shooting, when the defendant’s commander arrived at the house, did he call Hotline 100 and report the incident.
The Police Investigations Department requested that Amir Raz be detained until the end of the legal proceedings against him.
Attorney Tami Kellenberg, who is representing Diana Deadbiev’s family on behalf of the Justice Department’s SNA (Assistance to Families of Victims of the Dead) program at the Justice Department, said: “The family is still overwhelmed and in pain. We met with representatives of the Police Investigations Department before filing the indictment, and the family heard from them about its details, which unfold the worst of all. We will make sure that the voice of the family and Diana is heard during the trial and we will make sure to represent them throughout the legal process. “
