An Israeli court on Tuesday postponed a hearing to determine whether the leader of a Jewish gang that burned a Palestinian Arab teenager alive is sufficiently sane to be held responsible, AFP reports.
The closed-door hearing was put off until February 11 to allow more time for a psychiatric review of Yosef Haim Ben-David, according to the lawyer for the victim's family, Mohanned Jabara.
Mohammed Abu Khdeir, from the Shuafat area of east Jerusalem, was killed on July 2, 2014 after being kidnapped by three Jewish extremists, who poured petrol over the 16-year-old and burned him alive in revenge for the kidnap and murder of three Jewish teens by Hamas.
