Professor's Murder
Is Investigated
Jerusalem (JTA) — The inves-
tigation into the murder of a pro-
fessor at the Technion-Israel
Institute of Technology who had
AIDS took a macabre twist this
week when police said that the
victim had solicited sex with
dozens of men during the past
year in an apparent effort to
spread the virus.
Police subsequently called on
all those individuals who had sex-
ual relations with the victim to
undergo AIDS testing.
Yeshayahu Demner, a 46-year-
old Technion professor for the
past 11 years, was found dead in
his Haifa apartment.
During a search of his home,
police found medical documents
indicating that Mr. Demner had
known he was HIV positive since
August 1993, but that he had
continued to have unprotected
sexual relations without inform-
ing his partners he had AIDS.
Police also found Mr. Demn-
er's diary and written lists, in
which he wrote out names of
those with whom he had sex.
Based on the findings, police
believed Mr. Demner, enraged by
his own illness, was trying to
infect as many people as he could.
"We have no other explanation
for his behavior," police sources
said. "It is clear that he did not
use condoms or other protective
devices, and at the same time
continued to have sexual rela-
tions with dozens of men."
They believed that the mur-
derer was someone who knew
Mr. Demner, and had acted out
of revenge after finding out that
he had contracted AIDS. Police
believed Mr. Demner had ap-
parently let the suspect into his
home.

Investigation
At Hospital
Tel Aviv (JTA) — The Israeli
Health Ministry has launched an
investigation into an incident that
took place at Tel Aviv's Ichilov
Hospital last week, when an oxy-
gen line running from a central
supply point was briefly discon-
nected, cutting off the delivery of
oxygen to the hospital's wards.
According to the daily Ma'ariv,
which first reported the incident,
patients attached to respirators
were without oxygen for at least
12 minutes and that within an
hour of the stoppage three elder-
ly and chronically ill patients had
died.
Hospital officials countered
that the oxygen flow had been
halted for only a few seconds, that
alarm bells had rung immedi-
ately at nurses stations in all of
the hospital's wards and that
medical staff had immediately
rushed to patients' bedsides.
