Hungary: Two suspects arrested over murder of Israeli backpacker
May 1, 2016Two suspects have been arrested over the death of Israeli backpacker Ofer Gross in Hungary, according to German media reports.
The two young suspects – aged 21 and 19 – were reportedly arrested by Hungarian police under suspicion of murdering 40-year-old Gross, who disappeared a week ago.
Further details of the investigation have yet to be publicized, although police have confirmed that all the evidence points to the victim having been murdered as opposed to dying in an accident or of natural causes.
Last night, authorities announced they had found Gross’s body, after a frantic, week-long search for the missing Jerusalemite.
A biomedical student in Germany, he had been “couchsurfing” – staying at residential homes for free or for a relatively small fee – when his family suddenly lost all contact with him.
