Atif Sabihi, who was convicted of the 1982 murder and rape of 21-year-old soldier Daphna Carmon and the 1983 murder of 14-year-old Danny Katz, has died in prison at the age of 68. Sabihi was serving a life sentence for both crimes, which shocked Israel in the 1980s. Throughout his imprisonment, Sabihi consistently maintained his innocence, alleging his confession was coerced. He claimed to have confessed under duress, a claim that did not sway the courts. His death marks the end of a long and controversial case that sparked public outcry decades ago. The Times of Israel first reported the news of his passing.
