Julien Soufir confessed back in May 2007 to slitting the throat of Jerusalem taxi driver Taisir Karaki. Since the murder and confession by dual Israeli-French national Soufir, the Israeli state has agreed that Taisir Karaki’s slaying was an act of terror.

Now comes news from the Tel Aviv District Court that Soufir has been found to be mentally ill and as such cannot be pursued for the crime of murder:

“The Tel Aviv District Court ruled Thursday that alleged murderer Julien Soufir is unfit to stand trial due to insanity…Soufir’s brother Jonathon has been accused of complicity in the killing.

…Police investigators concluded that Soufir had sought out an Arab victim, and suggested that the murder was motivated by nationalism. However, psychologists determined that Soufir was insane at the time of the killing, and suffered from delusions….

…While experts told the court Soufir was insane and unfit for trial, the victim’s family charged the court with racism. “He was released only because he’s Jewish and my brother was Arab,” Karaki’s sister Siham accused.

Soufir will remain in custody, and is expected to be transferred to the closed unit of a hospital for the mentally ill.” (Source: Arutz Sheva)
