The victims were all beaten, their faces bruised, and then attempts were made to set their bodies on fire.

Bonner was born in Moldavia, and immigrated to Israel in 2000 with his Jewish wife, who later died of TB. After his capture, Bonner claimed he degraded the homeless partly because he could not get over his wife's death.

On May 6th, 2007 Bonner was sentenced to 4 consecutive life terms (120 years) and additional 17 years imprisionement for other crimes: 5 years for attempted murder, 9 years for aggravated rape, and 3 years for other charges including aggravated assault and interfering with judicial proceedings.
