Three of the six Jewish suspects who were arrested in connection to the kidnap and killing of a Palestinian teenager have reportedly confessed to the crime.

The burnt body of 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir was discovered last Wednesday.

The Arab boy appears to have been killed in an act of revenge after the murder of Israeli teenagers Gilad Sha'ar, Naftali Frenkel and Eyal Yifrach by Hamas insurgents.

Today, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the Palestinian teenager’s father, Hussein Abu Khdeir, to “express my outrage and that of the citizens of Israel over the reprehensible murder of your son”.
