Abu Khdeir killer apologizes to victim’s family
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYosef Haim Ben-David, the ringleader convicted in the 2014 kidnapping-murder of East Jerusalem teenager Mohammed Abu Khdeir, apologizes to the victim’s family.
“I’m sorry for what happened,” he says, according to the Walla news site. “I ask forgiveness from the family for everything that happened, it wasn’t under my control. It isn’t my personality, and I’m not that kind of person.”
State prosecutor Uri Korb demands that Ben-David be given life for the killing, as well as 20 years for the kidnapping and an additional 15 years for other crimes.
Ben-David had initially pleaded insanity but was ruled sane last month.
