Earlier this month, Sapir Nahum, a 24-year-old mother of two and resident of the northern city of Acre (Akko) was reported missing, after security cameras filmed Nahum entering the car of her ex-boyfriend, Wahl Halayla.
Nahum was last seen on June 2nd, while dropping her daughter off at a preschool.
The disappearance was reported after Nahum sued Halayla for child support.
Shortly after Nahum’s disappearance, police arrested the 34-year-old Halayla.
A Tiktok user popular among Israeli Arab viewers, Halayla has gained notoriety for his anti-police and anti-Jewish videos, including a recent video recorded of Halayla bringing a horse and cart into a Jewish neighborhood on the Sabbath while verbally assaulting passersby.
A convicted felon, Halayla served prison sentences for multiple offenses, including armed robbery.
Arrested shortly after Nahum’s disappearance was reported, Halayla was later released, only to be taken into custody against. He has denied any involvement in Nahum’s disappearance.
The Acre police commander personally visited Nahum's family Sunday to update them on the discovery of the body.
