| 'Six held' over Palestinian Mohammad Abu Khdair murder | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Six people have been arrested over the murder of Palestinian teenager Mohammad Abu Khdair, Israeli media report. | |
| The suspects are believed to be Jewish extremists, the reports suggested. Israeli police told the BBC Khdair was murdered "because of his nationality". | |
| Khdair was abducted in East Jerusalem. His body was found on Wednesday with first post-mortem examination findings suggesting he was burnt alive. | |
| His death followed the abduction and murder of three young Israelis. | |
| In a related case, a Palestinian-American teenager allegedly beaten while in Israeli police custody in East Jerusalem is to be held under house arrest for nine days, a judge has ruled. | |
| Tariq Khdair, 15, from Florida, is to remain in the Jerusalem area of Beit Hanina during the investigation. | |
| Mobile phone footage appears to show two Israeli policemen repeatedly punching him in the head. | |
| Police say that he was among a group of youths attacking police officers during unrest related to the killing of Mohammad Abu Khdair. | |
| Anger mounts | |
| The post mortem examination on Mohammad Abu Khdair was carried out by Israeli doctors, with Saber al-Aloul, the director of the Palestinian forensic institute, in attendance. | |
| The Palestinian official news agency Wafa quoted the attorney-general as saying that Mr Aloul had reported fire dust in the respiratory canal, meaning the victim had "inhaled this material while he was burnt alive". | |
| Mohammad Abu Khdair, who had also suffered a head injury, had burns to 90% of the body, it was reported. | |
| The findings have not been officially released. | |
| Mohammad Abu Khdair's family have insisted he was killed in revenge for the murders of the three Israeli teenagers. | |
| The bodies of Naftali Frenkel and Gilad Shaar, both aged 16, and 19-year-old Eyal Yifrach were found on 30 June. Their funerals were held on Wednesday. | |
