Gay parade stabber placed in psychiatric ward
Yishai Schlissel, who killed Shira Banki and wounded five others in a stabbing attack at the Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade last month, is hospitalized in a psychiatric ward, the news site Nana 10 reports.
The Israel Prison Service reportedly sets up a special psychiatric team to determine if Schlissel, who attacked the parade just weeks after his release from 10 years in prison following an identical attack on the 2005 Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade, is psychologically fit to stand trial.
