Defendant 2 claimed that on the orders of Defendant 1 he entered a gas station to buy a flashlight, with the money that Defendant 1 told him that he had taken from the deceased's wallet (although this time he claimed that he did not see Defendant 1 touch the wallet), but this was not enough because the flashlight cost NIS 50.  On their way to the second gas station, defendant 1 found a black jerrycan and when they arrived he went to the seller, took the jerrycan that defendant 2 had in his possession and went to fill it, and at a certain point called him for help because the jerrycan was heavy; They returned to the scene with the jerrycan and a lighter that defendant 1 had bought (ibid., at pp. 51-53).

When they returned to the scene they opened the car, defendant 1 took off the handbrake because he said they had to push the car as low as possible so that they wouldn't be seen, and when he tried to move the steering wheel he saw that the steering wheel was locked and the car got stuck in a stone.  Defendant 1 then "took the gasoline, he poured it on the driver's direction and onto the entire vehicle in front.  He found a piece of paper there, tried to light it, it didn't work for him, and then really, as he said, he found, he found, the perfume there and he sprayed it on [the deceased], and then after that he sprayed it on the paper as well, lit the paper and threw it away.  And then everything was set on fire...  And then there was an explosion...  After that, all of [the deceased's]  things were on him, which was the gun, the pepper spray, the case tobacco, the keys, his phone...  After that, he shouted that his phone had fallen...  He said we would just fall, leave it and run away."  According to him, he did not know where the pepper gas was, because Defendant 1 took care of everything (at this point Defendant 1 accused him of being a liar and that he had found the gas).  To the question of who brought him the deceased's phone, he replied that defendant 1 brought it to him in order to use it to search for the keys that were lost to him (ibid., at pp. 53-54).
