The defendant was interrogated directly regarding Subscriber 685, and contrary to his policy during the police interrogation, he explicitly confirms that this subscription was in his possession and use. He does not remember all the conversations he had with him before the murder, but he confirms that he took a selfie on the phone on 24 August 2022 and that he answered Waspi's greeting on 20 August 2022, but not on the day of the murder, 26 August 2022, when Samer apparently answered him. As a result, the defendant is accused of having WhatsApp protected by his fingerprint, and for the first time, the defendant confirms that the fingerprint he used to protect WhatsApp on A32 when he was caught by the police was his. However, he said that fingerprint protection was inserted into the device only the night before his arrest, after he received it back from Samer. The defendant explained that he was playing on the phone, noticed the possibility of defense, and out of curiosity, he put his fingerprint. Against this background, he was asked why he did not give this version to the investigators and refused to put his finger on the device, and he replied that he did not cooperate at the time and preferred to lie [ibid., at pp. 561-564].
Regarding the change of the SIM card on the night of August 28, 2022, from 685 to 761, the defendant claimed that it was Samer who changed the SIM, without the defendant's knowledge. The return of the phone took place at 'Udai's home in Kiryat Eliezer, where Samer had arrived, at around 9:00 P.M. and 10:00 P.M. The phone call to Samer on Thursday, August 25, 2022, was at around 20:00-21:00, after which Samer left the family compound and the defendant's next meeting with him was only on Sunday [ibid., at pp. 580-576].
The defendant was interrogated about the paper clipping and continues to deny any connection to it. As a result, he is shown the invoices seized in his home and the manuscripts are compared, and then the defendant gives his version for the first time that the documents were written by his late brother, Sabri [see a detailed reference to his words in the relevant chapter]. The defendant admits that he lied during the interrogation when he claimed that he did not know about the murder until the day of his arrest, and refers to the Internet searches on the 337 subscription, as detailed in the chapter dealing with this. Later on, he refers once again to the conflicts and attempts to eliminate him, and this issue has already been detailed above.
