He later said that the plan was to buy drugs from the deceased and go to the point where they would bring him the money, and "as soon as we left, he was just in the middle of nowhere, he just took something he didn't know, he had a sock or something with a stone, he didn't know, he just knocked him in the back...". After denying that he knew that his accomplice intended to kill the deceased, he claimed that on Sunday "he" told him that he wanted to kill the deceased, but he himself only offered to frighten him and scare him away, and on Monday his accomplice told him that they were meeting with the deceased, buying from him and transferring the money to him, and therefore this surprised him when he "dismantled" him (ibid., at p. 7, s. 8-p. 9, s. 5).
In the interrogation that followed the conversation with the commander of the Central Intelligence Unit , Defendant 2 said that when they arrived at the forest and started walking, Defendant 1 was walking from behind, "then [Defendant 1] simply took a sock that had a stone in it and gave [the deceased] a stone in the head and I was afraid of the pressure, I jumped on [the deceased], I held him and [Defendant 1] just blew him up, punched him, punched him, kicked stones, a regular stone from the ground, banged him in the head. After he died, we just dragged him to his car..." (P/12 S. 19-22, 46-47). When asked exactly what he did when he said he jumped on the deceased after defendant 1 attacked him with a stone, he replied, "I held his hands so that he wouldn't run away. and during that time [defendant 1] beat him with stones, punched him"; and to the question of why he did not allow the deceased to escape in order to prevent his death, he replied, "Because [the deceased] was with a gun, I was afraid that he would kill me. If I had told [the deceased] to run away, he would have just struck me with a bullet" (ibid. 39-53). When asked how he knew that the deceased was already dead when he was towed and put in the car, he replied, "I don't know, I'm guessing, the man seemed finished to me," and added that he did not think he was alive when he was put in the car, but they did not check (ibid., 54-60).
