Police today (Monday) aggravated the offenses suspected by the friends of the late Ahuvia Godak, who was killed in a rollover in the vehicle he was traveling in during a police chase. For the offense of manslaughter is 12 years imprisonment.
The 17-year-old godfather, a resident of Bat Ayin, was killed last week in a car accident near Kochav Hashahar, when the vehicle in which he was traveling with four of his friends lost control and overturned during a chase by SJ police detectives. Police launched a chase following a suspicion that the occupants of the vehicle threw stones at Palestinian vehicles. Godfather’s friends, including two minors, were injured and evacuated to Hadassah Hospital on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem. According to the four, the rollover was caused after the police vehicle deliberately hit their vehicle.
The High Court is expected to hear soon a petition filed by Godfather’s parents, demanding that the police be banned from investigating his death, arguing that according to the police ordinance, it is prohibited from investigating incidents in which police officers are also suspected.
The Honno organization, which represents the boys, sharply attacked the police. They accused that the continuation of the investigation in this direction was intended to transfer the criminal responsibility for the death of Godfather from the police officers, who are also being investigated for the incident, to the boys in the car: “The blood of the next boy to be killed – by the IDF and DIP. “Killing a Jewish boy, paving the way for the killing of the next boy. Throwing the incident at the children injured in the serious accident has one meaning – rendering and an attempt to clean up the police. We are considering introducing significant external intervention in the investigation. We will know soon.”
The Minister of Internal Security, Amir Ohana, arrived last night to comfort mourners at the home of Godfather’s parents. The mother, Ayelet Godfather, hurled harsh words at the flesh: “A Jew is not a Jewish murderer. The people of Israel have reached a low point. This is how it is when there is no king in Israel, your stupid government falls because you are not united. So much so that a policeman kills a person. To me, ‘Who hits a car?’. Even when chasing criminals, you never hit a car. “
“Three days until they took the cops for questioning,” the mother continued in pain. “Anyone know why they chased the vehicle? I do not know why they chased them, I do not know what happened there. They took the wounded, handcuffed them, and from the detention center took them for questioning. And where are the three policemen? They went around for three days. They went to work? They They took freedom? I really ask. A man knows he killed a man, what does he do for three days? Read Psalms at home? A man who kills a man is hell. Where have they been? Where are they now? Why do we have to exert public pressure to take them? For DIP investigation? What did they do for three days – coordinate positions? What is this police? For years it has been like this, for years they have been chasing children who stick trees with nails. “
