Tight security in Samui for re-enactment of Israeli hit-and-run attack
Two Israelis accused of killing a compatriot on Koh Samui will re-enact the alleged crime on Sunday surrounded by dozens of heavily armed police.
24 year old Dolev Zuarez and 26 year old Eval Bokal were arrested at Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport about five hours after they allegedly killed 34 year old Maor Mallil and injured his girlfriend, Rashel Oshana, in broad daylight close to popular Chaweng Beach.
Police said the suspects drove their SUV into a motorcycle carrying Mallil and Oshana in front of Samui International Hospital. The suspects then allegedly stabbed Mallil, who was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The suspects fled in the SUV.
Police said the attack was in revenge for Mallil’s attack on the suspects, which took place in Israel. Mallil was jailed for 20 months for that crime. On his release, he travelled to Thailand, and the suspects followed him.
The duo will lead police to the crime scene in front of Samui International Hospital and then to Koh Samui International College, where they left the SUV, and to their rented room.
Deputy national police chief Pol General Chalermkiat Srivorakan will travel to Samui to observe the reenactment.
