Police have released the names of the Usherenko family’s murderers. The murder, which shocked the country, left dead a family of six, including children.
It took the police just weeks to find the murderer, one Dmitry Karlik, a former employee in the family’s business.
The murder was made possible by the Israeli government’s refusal to extradite Karlik to Russia, where he is wanted for armed robbery. The refusal contrasts with the government’s readiness to extradite many other suspects.
While it refused to extradite Karlik, neither did the government prosecute him for the foreign crime, or at least make his past known to his employer.
Neither the murderer nor his victims are Jewish.
