Suspect in Killing of East Jerusalem Teen Said to Confess, Implicate Others
More: Suspect in Killing of East Jerusalem Teen Said to Confess
suspect arrested in connection with the slaying of Jerusalem teen Muhammad Abu Khdeir reportedly confessed to the crime after being arrested Sunday, implicating a number of other suspects as well.
The suspect, described by police as a Jewish extremist, admitted to kidnapping Abu Khdeir, 16, from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Shuafat and killing him, several Israeli news sites reported Sunday night.
According to the Walla news site, other suspects among the six arrested also confessed to the crime under Shin Bet security service interrogation.
A Petah Tikva court ruled Sunday afternoon that five of the suspects will be held for an additional eight days, while the final suspect will be held for another five days.
Police had initially requested the suspects’ detention be extended for 15 days.
The accused are barred from meeting with a lawyer.
One of the detainees has been cooperating with the police investigation and is incriminating his accomplices in the crime, according to a Channel 2 report.
The six are not part of a formal extremist group, as had been previously reported, but rather a group of radical youths who decided to take the law into their own hands, the news station reported.
The six were arrested early Sunday morning in connection with the death of Abu Khdeir, 16.
This is so horrific, I have no words. Even Arutz Sheva (Israeli extremist media outlet) admits that Jews are implicated in this unspeakable crime.
What are we? What have we become?
