On February 26, 2018, in the morning, while defendant 1 was at work, the deceased arrived at his home and left the drug there for the defendants, and according to the agreement between them, the defendants were supposed to transfer the money to him later at night, after the deceased had finished his work.

At a certain point, after their attempt to steal the drugs failed, and since they intended to take the drugs without paying for them, the defendants decided to murder the deceased, and they hatched a plan in order to carry out their decision.  As part of this plan, the defendants met on the night of 26 February 2018 at the home of defendant 1, where they waited for the deceased and planned to lead him under false pretense to a secluded and quiet place; Defendant 1 took socks with him, into which he planned to insert a stone, with which he would strike the deceased in surprise from behind; The defendants changed their clothes into dark clothes, and left their mobile phones in the house of defendant 1 so that they could not be repaired.  On February 27, 2018, at approximately 2:30 A.M., when the deceased arrived outside the home of defendant 1, the defendants falsely claimed to him that the money was not in their possession but in a hiding place, which would also serve as their meeting place in future drug deals; They got into the deceased's car and instructed him to reach the Ivim Forest, where he parked the car.  Already when the deceased arrived at the meeting, the defendants noticed that he was carrying a gun with him, and in order to enable the continuation of their plan, they persuaded him to leave the gun in the car as a condition for continuing the deal.

The defendants and the deceased were walking in the forest to a place far from the parking of the car, under the pretext that the money was there, while discussing alleged future drug deals, and at a certain point defendant 1 hit the deceased from behind, with several blows with the sock in which he put a stone, the deceased fell to the ground and the two defendants beat him together, with fists, kicks and stones, while the deceased was screaming and begging for his life.  Until he stopped responding.  The defendants began to drag the deceased towards the car, and at a certain point, when they noticed that he was still breathing, they continued to kick him until he stopped responding again and they thought he was dead.  After arriving with the deceased in the car, the defendants picked him up and laid him down on the driver's seat; The vehicle was derailed from where it was parked, until the vehicle struck a concrete structure and stopped.
