The Israeli ringleader in the killing of a Palestinian youth, abducted and burned to death in Jerusalem in 2014, has been convicted of his murder.
A Jerusalem court found 31-year-old Yosef Haim Ben David guilty, rejecting a plea of insanity. He will be sentenced next month.
Two youths have already been jailed for murdering Mohammad Abu Khdair, 16.
He was killed in apparent revenge for the murders of three Israeli teens in the occupied West Bank.
Mohammad Abu Khdair’s body was found in a forest in West Jerusalem on 2 July 2014, two days after the bodies of the Israelis abducted and murdered by Hamas militants that June were found.
Also, a court has convicted Yishai Schlissel, an ultra-orthodox Jew of murder over the stabbing to death of a 16-year-old girl at Jerusalem’s Gay Pride parade last year.
