Confession from one of six arrested in revenge killing
 [Jpost] Four days after the alleged revenge killing of Palestinian teen Muhammad Abu Khdeir convulsed the nation, one of the six unidentified Jewish extremists arrested early Sunday morning in the brutal murder confessed to the crime.According to numerous sources, the unidentified suspects made the confession during questioning by Shin Bet security agents. While details of the arrests and investigation remain largely unknown due to a court-sanctioned gag order, hours after their arrests a Petah Tikva court ruled that five of the suspects be held for an additional eight days. According to Channel 2, one of the suspects is cooperated with police and has incriminated his accomplices. Following the arrests, Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch condemned the suspects. "The State of Israel is a country that abides by, and enforces the law, and will continue to take determined action against all those who violate the law," the statement read. "I ask that everyone show responsibility and work to prevent further disturbances." Aharonovitch continued: "This was a shocking and unacceptable act which any sane person, certainly in a strong and democratic country such as the State of Israel, must strongly condemn." Abu Khdeir's murder set off a chain of riots throughout east Jerusalem, with residents demanding vengeance against suspected Israeli killers.
The investigation revealed that the murder of the Paleostinian teen by the suspects was premeditated, and that they had arrived at Beit Hanina last Wednesday early in the morning and kidnapped and murdered Abu Khdeir. The main piece of evidence is the vehicle used by the suspects for the kidnapping, which police located, and that was also captured by security cameras in the area. Posted by: 2014-07-06 |
