Two 17-year-old Israelis have been convicted of the murder of Palestinian youth Mohammad Abu Khdair, abducted and burned to death in Jerusalem in 2014.
A verdict on a third suspect, a 31-year-old Israeli man, was postponed for a mental health review.
Mohammad Abu Khdair’s body was found in a forest in West Jerusalem on 2 July 2014.
Israeli prosecutors said the two unnamed minors and 31-year-old Yosef Haim Ben David admitted during questioning to beating Abu Khdair unconscious and then burning him to death using petrol poured on the teenager while he was still alive.
On Monday, the panel of three judges at the Jerusalem District Court found the minors guilty of the murder.
They also said there was enough evidence to convict Mr Ben David, but that the verdict would be postponed until a psychiatric evaluation had been carried out.
On Thursday, Mr Ben David’s lawyer submitted an evaluation which stated that he had not been responsible for his actions at the time of the murder.
Prosecutors had previously presented evidence they said showed Mr Ben David was responsible for his actions.
Abu Khdair’s father, Hussein, said Mr Ben David was trying to mislead the court. “There is no justice,” he was quoted as saying by Israel’s Haaretz newspaper.
A third man, Hussam Qawasmeh, was sentenced to three life terms in prison in January after being found guilty by an Israeli court of several charges including three counts of accessory to murder.
