Netherlands: trial underway for Israeli who murdered Miriam Sharon 27 years ago
None
A court in The Hague opened proceedings in the trial of Daniel Amona, a 53-year-old Petah Tikva resident, charged with murdering Miriam Sharon in the city 27 years ago.
According to Dutch sources, the case saw a dramatic breakthrough thanks to technological innovations related to decoding DNA samples.
Amona was first arrested immediately following the killing, but was released due to insufficient evidence, returned to Israel and started a family. He was arrested again last year during a trip to the Netherlands. In spite of the indictment, the motive for the murder is still unclear.
