Murderers of Palestinian teen to be sentenced

Three Israelis, including two minors, admitted to murdering Abu Khdeir last year. The two minors were found gulty on Monday and their conviction is to occur at a later date. The next hearing on Ben-David's sentence was scheduled for January 14, 2016. The boy's father, Hussein, had said he would not be satisfied with a life sentence, even saying he would turn to the International Criminal Court in The Hague if the sentence is too light.
The three israelis admitted to beating Abu Khdeir unconscious and then burning him to death using some kind of flammable material poured on the teen while he was alive. The trio's indictments claimed the murder was intended as vengeance for the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens.
