Regarding the events after the incident

In his fourth interrogation, defendant 1 claimed that already after they set fire to the car and were on their way home, defendant 2 told him that they should  throw away the clothes "because they are traces", and that they should hide the weapon because he had someone to sell it to and they would share the profits, but he added: "Just make sure to keep your mouth shut, as far as you are concerned, it was not the case"  (P/4, p. 8).  At the end of the interrogation, he added that the next day he woke up and remembered nothing, but suddenly the events of the night began to come to his mind, and at a certain point when he asked Defendant 2 if he remembered what they had done last night, Defendant 2 replied, "My brother, we didn't do anything, you don't need to know anything.  If you tell me, I will kill you and I will harm your family" (ibid., p. 11).

Defendant 1 further stated that after the incident, they threw the jerry can, hid the gun, threw away the clothes they were wearing, and apparently also threw tear gas that they had taken from the deceased, and that they also threw away the car keys they had taken from the deceased; He noted that he was willing to show the police where they had thrown all the items, and where they had hidden the gun (ibid., pp. 8-10).

In the reconstruction (file 0005 B/5B), Defendant 1 led the police officers to the place where he hid the gun with Defendant 2 near his home, while saying, "After ...  We did what we did with the enemies...  We're back here...  We changed our clothes and everything...  We put the clothes in [Defendant 2]'s file...  In bags so we can scatter it...  And then we took the gun," he said, adding that he had been hidden on Tuesday at around 9 a.m.  Defendant 1 pointed to a clothesline from which he took a towel with which he wrapped the gun, and led the officers to the edge of a playground, where he said that Defendant 2 told him to hide the gun in a certain place, but he was afraid that it would be seen and therefore hid it "among the trees"; He pointed to dense vegetation behind the fence of the playground, where the gun was indeed caught wrapped in a towel (P/5C, pp. 38-42).
