Jerusalem Gay Pride stabbing: ultra-orthodox Yishai Schlissel jailed for life
26 June 2016 Middle East
An Israeli court has given a life sentence to a man who killed a teenager and wounded five other marchers at last year's Gay Pride parade in Jerusalem.
Yishai Schlissel, 40, an ultra-Orthodox Jew, said he had been doing God's will when he stabbed his victims.
He managed to infiltrate the parade three weeks after completing a 10-year sentence for a similar attack in 2005.
The court criticised the police, saying they had known the danger Schissel posed but failed to act properly.
