Three-year-old Evyatar Gadasi, whose body was found in a car near where his father stepped into the path of an oncoming train in Beit Yehoshua on Monday evening, has been laid to rest in Ashdod.

According to a preliminary investigation, the two had been the object of a police search since Saturday evening, when Evyatar's parents had an argument in which his father stabbed and lightly wounded his mother and fled with the boy.
