Convicted of raping and murdering 8-year-old girl Lipaz Himi and murdering David Ben Hamu in 2006.
He asked to be recognized as a security prisoner rather than a criminal prisoner, and claimed that he had also planned to murder female soldiers and hijack a passenger bus.
On the eve of Memorial Day, May 2006, at around 3:00 a.m., he arrived at David Ben Hamu's house, armed with an axe and intending to kill him.
He entered Ben Hamu's house and hit him many times in the head and face. As a result of the beatings, Ben Hamu's brain was damaged and he died.
Afterwards, he wrapped the body in papers and cloth, poured alcohol on it and set it on fire.
A few days later, at noon on Independence Day, he lured 8-year-old Lipaz Himi to go with him to a staircase in Beit Shemesh, where he used to sleep with his fellow workers from time to time.
At the top of the staircase, he raped the little girl, while strangling her with a sock.
He then strangled her to death, and left the scene.
He was captured by security forces, and sentenced to 2 life sentences.
