A 17-year-old from Ramallah who allegedly killed police officer Barak Meshulam in July was indicted for murder on Monday.
The indictment also charges the suspect with illegally entering Israel, auto theft, driving without a license or valid insurance, endangering other lives and hitting a police officer.
The suspect allegedly stole a car in Gush Dan in mid-July and ran over and killed Meshulam at a checkpoint on Highway 4. After hitting Meshulam, the suspect left the car and escaped on foot but was caught later in the day.
At Meshulam’s funeral, Public Security Minister Omer Bar Lav promised that the criminal would pay a heavy price for his actions. Meshulam left behind a wife and two children.
