Court cancels hearing on alleged Abu Khdeir killer
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Jerusalem District Court postpones a hearing in the case of Yosef Haim Ben-David, the prime suspect in the killing of the East Jerusalem Palestinian teen Mohammed Abu Khdeir in 2014.
The attorneys for Ben-David, 31, say he suffers from a mental illness and was not responsible for his actions at the time.
Two Israeli minors have already been convicted in the attack and the state prosecution is demanding life sentences for them.
It isn’t immediately clear why the court postponed the hearing, which was supposed to be held today, and a new date has yet to be set for it.
