A gag order in the case of an Israeli model who was arrested in October on suspicion of homicide was lifted on Sunday, with the suspect in question named as Leen Peer.

She and three other suspects were arrested last month in connection with the death of Shalom Nissim in Petah Tikva.

Peer, who denies killing Nissim, earlier dismissed her attorney and is being represented in court by public defender Anat Yaari, who said in a statement her client is “a normal young girl, with no criminal past, who got caught up in a feud between criminals. She provided her version of the sequence of events and denies the allegations against her.”

The other suspects have been named as David Kricheli, Maor Elisha and Bar Outmezgine. The four are suspected by police of premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit a crime.

According to Hebrew media reports, Peer had in the past been implicated in violent acts, most recently stabbing her ex-boyfriend five months ago.

She also attempted to stab a woman she had intimate relations with around a decade ago, the Kan public broadcaster reported.

Peer was also one of the dozens of complainants........
