[VIDEO & PHOTOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE] As was reported earlier, tens of thousands of people attended the Levaya in Yerushalayim of Rav Elazar Abuchatzeira, who was fatally stabbed on Thursday night as was first reported by YWN.

The suspect, Asher Dahan, was arrested immediately following the murder, with some reports stating that he is not mentally stable. He was seen Davening the Yom Kippur Maariv on Thursday night, had requested that  Mi-Shebarach be made for him on Thursday morning, and told quite a few people that he’s worried that “Moshiach Ben Yosef should not die.”

On Friday, the remand of Dahan was extended for two weeks. He will receive a psychiatric evaluation.

During questioning, Dahan admitted to attacking Baba Elazar. Dahan said his motive was that Baba Elazar had “failed to solve his marital problems”.
