Two suspects arrested in murder of Israeli businessman and his daughter in Mexico












Two men suspected of murdering an Israeli businessman and his daughter in Mexico have been arrested, Channel 10 reported on Friday.

About a month ago, Moshe Aroch and his daughter Sapir were murdered in their home in Mexico City. Reports indicate that the suspects are Aroch's driver and his nephew.

According to an initial investigation, the motive behind the murder is the driver's frustration with the treatment he received from his employer. The police however haven't ruled out the possibility that Aroch's murder was ordered by a third party who paid the driver to carry out the murder.

Two weeks ago, the head of the police unit investigating the murder, Miguel Angel Mancera Espinosa, said that the police suspects that the murder was revenge-based or due to a conflict regarding the victim's business deals.

During the course of the investigation, Aroch's 25-year-old son Maor was briefly arrested on suspicion of involvment in the crime over a family conflict, but he was quickly released.
