Reshet Bet radio station:
"Two-year-old Hodaya Kedem Pimstein, whose body was discovered in a forest in western Jerusalem on Tuesday, was buried Wednesday afternoon at the Har Hamenuhaut cemetery in Givat Shaul, as details of her slaying were released for publication.

The father, Eli Pimstein, has admitted to drowning the baby in her bath and afterwards burying her in a pit that he had prepared a month ago. He has reenacted the crime to the police".


In Hebrew it says the court sent him for psychological observation. The police are opposed to this because they say his actions were planned and calculated. They also say he initially dug the pit a month ago and went back on Wednesday to deepen it further.
