An Israeli court convicted two Israelis Monday of the kidnapping and burning alive of a Palestinian teenager, while a third defendant's mental state will be evaluated.

The 31-year-old, viewed as the ringleader, was found to have committed the crime, but the court held off on convicting him after his lawyers submitted a report in recent days arguing his mental state meant he was not responsible for his actions.

Mohammed Abu Khdeir, 16, was abducted and martyred on July 2, 2014 in the West Bank.

Sentencing for the two convicted Israelis, who are minors, was set for January 13, while a hearing was scheduled for December 20 for the third defendant, Yosef Haim Ben-David, from the Adam settlement in the occupied West Bank.

Abu Khdeir's father denounced the delay in the verdict for the man accused of being the ringleader and called for the trio's houses to be demolished.

"The court behaves one way with Arabs and another way with Jews," Hussein Abu Khdeir told reporters outside the court, calling the last-minute psychiatric report by Ben-David's lawyers a "trick" and asking why it was not submitted earlier.
