Israeli murder: Shimon’s wife “very likely” is dead say police as yet another wife comes to give evidence

The murky case of the Israeli murderer Shimon Bintan has taken yet another twist.

Another wife of Shimon has come forward. Shimon has already reportedly admitted to killing a compatriot, cutting him up and concealing him in cement under the stairs, reported Manager Online.

Police hope the latest woman – named only as Mrs “B” – can shed light on the disappearance of Nitaya Saeng-urai who has not been heard from since about November last year.

Arun Wacharasrisukanya leading the investigation team said that in his opinion it is “very likely” that Nitaya is dead.

Evidence of her money transactions and phone records show that they all ceased abruptly last year.

But he said how or why she may have died remains unclear.

A search of the drains and pathway at a Bang Kruay house shared by Shimon, 50, and Nitaya, 37, failed to turn up anything on Tuesday.

Yesterday police were looking in morgues for corpses unclaimed by relatives to see if they could get a lead. Arun appealed to the public for any information that may lead to answers about the disappearance of Nitaya.

Shimon was arrested at the weekend after Eliyahu Cohen, 63, a former Israeli policeman, was found cut up and covered in plaster in a cupboard under the stairs in Shimon’s house in Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi, north west of Bangkok.
His 17 year old son named as “Ben” is also helping police with their enquiries.

Shimon has reportedly told cops that he killed Mr Cohen in jealousy after he slept with his wife.
