   A gay Palestinian man who was living under asylum in Israel was   
   allegedly kidnapped and brought to the West Bank, where he was   
   beheaded Wednesday, according to Israeli media reports.   
      
   Ahmad Abu Murkhiyeh, 25, had reportedly been living in Israel   
   for two years and seeking resettlement to Canada because of   
   threats to his life over his sexual orientation. But on   
   Wednesday, Abu Murkhiyeh was beheaded in the West Bank city of   
   Hebron. The victim's friends told media outlets he was kidnapped   
   from Israel and taken to the Palestinian city, though his family   
   said he regularly visited them in Hebron.   
      
   Palestinian authorities arrested a suspect in the killing, who   
   allegedly filmed the grisly murder and posted it to social media.   
      
   Rita Petrenko, founder of an Arab LGBT nonprofit, said she had   
   helped arrange Abu Murkhiyeh's asylum papers. In comments to the   
   Times of Israel, she contradicted the victim's family's claims   
   that he regularly visited Hebron, saying that to her knowledge   
   Abu Murkhiyeh had not willingly returned to the West Bank since   
   his asylum, out of fear of violence from family members and   
   local residents.   
      
   A spokesman for the Palestinian police described the murder as a   
   "new kind of crime in Palestine."   
      
   Roughly 90 LGBT Palestinians live in Israel seeking asylum,   
   according to the Times of Israel.
