In his last interrogation, Defendant 2 identified himself and Defendant 1 in security camera footage from the gas stations, and again claimed that he entered the Paz gas station to buy a flashlight on the orders of Defendant 1, who forced him to do so (P/15 S. 34-37). He also claimed that when defendant 1 went to buy the lighter and fuel at the Tapuz gas station, he sat on the side "anxiously and fearful for my life", and after defendant 1 called him to come, he obeyed "because there was a danger to my life and if I didn't do whatever he said would kill me, you can see in the video that he tells me to hold on to a gallon and I held it"; and to the question of why, if he feared for his life, he did not flee the scene when defendant 1 went in to buy fuel, He replied that defendant 1 was with the gun and he was afraid that they would shoot him (ibid., paras. 38-49, and in paras. 50-57).
Regarding the events after the incident
During questioning by the commander of the Intelligence Unit, Defendant 2 claimed that he could not give testimony because his life was threatened, and to the question of what "he" threatened him, he replied, "It's not him, it's people above him... I don't know who they are"; to the question of who spoke to him, he replied that no one, and when he was told that if he was lying, he replied , "I am telling the truth, there are people above him, I don't know who these people are." To the question of who knew except the two of them, he replied that no one, and when he was told that if so, then no one threatened him, he replied , "None (an unclear word) is him. Listen, he told me a very simple thing, it's just me and him and it's Soliko, if he goes to jail and knows that I'm the one who opened up on him, I'm dead... And if I go to jail, I'll know that he opened up on me and he'll have to die. Before, just after we did it, that's what he told me" (P/11, pp. 10-12).
When asked if anything had been taken from the deceased, he replied in the affirmative and said again that he wanted to be assured that nothing would happen to him; When the commander of the Central Intelligence Unit told him that if he did not speak to him he would be charged with murder, he replied that his accomplice had taken the gun to the deceased but did not tell him where he had hidden it, and then they went to his home (ibid., pp. 5-6).
