A confession to a grisly murder.
Three Israeli Jews admit to bludgeoning and burning alive Palestinian teen Mohammed Abu Khudair.
Authorities say the suspects -- two of whom are minors -- told interrogators they wanted to avenge last month's killing of three Jewish students in the occupied West Bank.
(SOUNDBITE) (Hebrew) LAWYER FOR ONE OF THE SUSPECTS, ROZE AHARON, SAYING:
"My client is charged, or is suspected at the moment, but will be charged on Friday with carrying out the murder in Shuafat, attempted kidnapping, and serious assault the previous day, and torching cars."
Lawyers say it's hard to know how their clients might plead to eventual charges, because access to their clients has been limited by the Israeli authorities.
(SOUNDBITE) (English) LAWYER FOR ONE OF THE SUSPECTS WHO ARE MINORS, KVELLER BEN-TZION, SAYING:
"He's young, he's underage. He knows the charges are severe. He's well aware of the situation."
