At a certain point, the deceased said that he had to go to work and they left, and since defendant 1 did not want to pay the amount that the deceased asked for the drugs, defendant 1 suggested that they break into the deceased's apartment in order to steal the drugs, and he agreed. After they were unable to break into the deceased's home through the door and through the windows, they left the scene; Defendant 1 spoke with the deceased and the next day told him that the deceased had brought the drugs to his home, and that he was not interested in paying for them, but wanted to threaten the deceased and asked him to come to him (pp. 452-454).

After some time, the deceased called defendant 1 and said that he was waiting downstairs, and defendant 1 asked him to go down with him; When the plan was to threaten and intimidate the deceased so that defendant 1 would not pay for the drugs, and defendant 1 wanted to take him to a secluded and quiet place, since he did not want to cause noise to the neighbors and threaten him under his house. Defendant 2 claimed that he himself only wanted to smoke from the drugs without paying for them, and that his job was only to accompany defendant 1 because of his large and threatening appearance (pp. 455-456, 478, 483).
