Abu Khdeir murder suspect: We only planned to beat him

One of the two minors arrested for the kidnapping-murder of East Jerusalem teen Muhammed Abu Khdeir says the three perpetrators of the murder had only intended to beat the Palestinian youth, not to kill him.

Once they had Abu Khdeir in their hands, he says, the third suspect in the murder, a 30-year-old family member of the two minors, urged them to murder the bound and beaten youth.
