Court determines Hannah Bladon’s killer fit to stand trial — report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Jerusalem district psychiatrist reportedly says the Palestinian terrorist who stabbed a 20-year-old British student to death on the Jerusalem Light Rail tram last week is fit to stand trial.
Jamil Tamimi, 57, from East Jerusalem, murdered Hannah Bladon on Friday on his way home from a mental institution. Police officials later said that he “suffers from mental problems.”
Tamimi was ordered to undergo the psychiatric tests at a Saturday remand hearing at the Jerusalem District Court.
According to Ynet, state psychiatrists reviewed Tamimi’s prior visits to the Kfar Shaul Mental Health Center and his suicide attempt earlier this year.
