When asked where the exact location where the deceased was attacked, he replied, "We didn't attack, he attacked, I didn't attack him, it was here in this area, I don't know exactly how to direct you... It was something in that circle like that." When asked what he did to help Defendant 1, he replied, "I was under pressure, I was just holding [the deceased], but when I held him, I am almost certain that he would have been completely dead because he just didn't move. I was holding a body" (ibid., at pp. 16, s. 33 to p. 17, s. 3). He later claimed that while the deceased was being dragged towards the car of Defendant 1, "he just tells me to carry him harder, I tell him I can't, I want to go home, he tells me there's no going back, he threatens my life, that if I tell someone about it, he'll kill me. I was scared because after we put [the deceased] in the car, he took the gun and everything he said I did because I was afraid he would shoot me in the head, he turned around with the gun, I was afraid for my life" (ibid., pp. 18-19).
In the interrogation following the reconstruction, to the question of what was his part in attacking the deceased, Defendant 2 replied: "My part was only that I held him when he fell to the floor and from the pressure [Defendant 1] told me to kick him in the head because of that I have the mark on my right foot and ankle"; To the question of what happened to the deceased after he kicked him, he replied: "As I told you I held him, he was already on the floor. [Defendant 1] hit him in the head several times, when I did not hold him anymore [Defendant 1] shouted at me to kick him in the head and out of fear I did not know what was going through my head and I simply did not think and acted out of fear of death anxieties" (P/14 Q. 119-125). When asked whether the deceased shouted, cried or begged for his life, he replied that he could not remember; When he was told that he did not remember that he was focused on his attack and did not heed his pleas, he replied, "Not true. I was afraid of death that [defendant 1] would murder me, I did not act rationally, I did not know what was happening around me, and as I told you, I tried to stop him and I didn't succeed, I was just afraid" (ibid., 122-132).
