Beitar Illit Mayor Meir Rubinstein was named Tuesday as one of the suspects arrested and later released as part of a murder investigation tied to sex offender rabbi Eliezer Berland’s Shuvu Bonim sect.

Nobody has been indicted in the 1990 murder of 41-year-old Avi Edri, who was found beaten to death in the Ramot Forest in the north of Jerusalem.

Rubinstein has denied involvement in the killing and tried to prevent the publication of his name on the grounds that he was 17 years old at the time of his alleged involvement, and was therefore a minor.
