In response to the investigator's question, defendant 1 replied that the deceased's girlfriend contacted him on Tuesday and asked if he knew where the deceased was, she said that she did not know where he was and that the car was not found either, and he told her that there was nothing to worry about and that perhaps it was related to the debt he had; and confirmed that he reported the conversation to defendant 2 (ibid., at paras. 167-177).
During the confrontation, defendant 1 repeated the description of their actions when they returned home, and noted that after taking a shower and putting the clothes that were full of the deceased's blood in bags, they smoked from the drugs that the deceased had brought them. He said that after recalling what had happened in the morning, he himself said that the things should be taken and thrown away separately, and they went and threw away the items as he had described in his previous statements. After saying goodbye to defendant 2, he returned home, smoked more of the drugs and fell asleep. According to him, he then called Defendant 2 and found out that he had gone to work "as if everything was normal, I don't know how he could." Later they met at a party, he himself was "a little out but I didn't want to show that anything was different", drank and smoked, did everything to forget what had happened; and when defendant 2 arrived at the area where he was sitting, they talked, he told defendant 2 that he did not believe what they had done and that they would surely "get up" and then defendant 2 threatened him and his family (P/8A, pp. 15-20).
In his last interrogation , defendant 1 identified the keys that were presented to him as the keys to the deceased's car that he had thrown into the sewer, and he claimed that defendant 2 told him to take them and dispose of them after he tried to start the car, because they had his fingerprints on them (P/9, paras. 4-19).
When he was shown the security camera footage from the area where the coats and gas stations were hidden, Defendant 1 identified himself and Defendant 2, and explained that Defendant 2 "said that we could be suspected because of the stains of blood, so I just took it off and listened to everything he said" (ibid. at 31-43); and that he went with him to the gas stations, since Defendant 2 "said that the car should be burned because that's how there is evidence and I just went with him" (ibid., paras. 44-54). According to him, he acted on the orders of defendant 2 and was afraid of him even when he entered the Tapuz gas station, and even when he filled the jerrycan with gasoline, he trembled with fear and was unable to hold the jerrycan stable, and therefore defendant 2 came to his aid (ibid. at 78-70, 94-111).
