Two 17-year-old Israelis have been found guilty of the murder of Palestinian teenager Mohammad Abu Khdair, who was abducted and burned to death in Jerusalem last year .

On Monday, a panel of three judges at the Jerusalem District Court found the minors guilty. They will be sentenced in mid-January.

Judges also postponed a verdict on a 31-year-old man, for a mental health review.

Abu Khdair’s body was discovered on 2 July 2014, following what was believed to be a revenge attack after the murder of three Israeli teenagers.
