The public prosecutor who represents the Martyr’s family and the defense lawyers of the defendants submitted the summaries of the case of the Martyr Mohammad Abu Khdeir. After the next session, the court’s commission should either convict the suspects or acquit them.The prosecutor requested to convict the defendants with premeditated murder.
The prosecutor confirmed in his summary that the defendants confessed to burning Abu Khdeir while he was still alive after torturing him. The main suspect, Nazi Jewish Yousef Ben David, was the leader in the killing crime with the help of two minors. He drove the vehicle after kidnapping the child Abu Khdeir from in front of his house in Shu’fat to the area of “Der Yassin” in West Jerusalem. He hit him on his head with a sharp tool and kicked him before pouring gasoline on him and burning him with the help of the other two minors while the victim was still alive.
He added that the defendants represented the crime days after the committed it and despite trying to change their confessions, they were unable to absolutely deny the charges; they attempted to play with their confessions.
The defense lawyers’ summaries focused on the two minors who hit, kidnapped and choked the victim based on the orders of the main suspect. According to the Nazi Jewish law, they have legal protection since they are less than 18 years. They also attempted to say that the Nazi Jewish settler passed away due to being choked and not because of being burned in order to change the main cause of the death. The main suspect, Nazi Jewish Yousef Ben David, claims to suffer from mental disorders in order to reduce the punishment of all three suspects.
It is noteworthy that the main suspect’s lawyer did not submit his summary of the case and hi client did not talk during the court sessions. The lawyer also requested to postpone the “summary’s” session until his client is presented to a psychiatrist but the court’s commission refused.
