An examination of the statements of Defendant 1 and of Muhammad's words shows that although the incident that took place about two weeks before their interrogation, the two remembered well to say that the evening after the murder incident they were at a gas station in Lod, when Muhammad was quick to say this as the first thing in his interrogation, and he even knew how to tell the interrogator to go and check the matter, apparently on the cameras of the gas station, and Defendant 1 also knows how to say this from his memory already in his first interrogation.
In the memorandum of interrogator Eyal Saban dated 10 July 2019 (P/87), the interrogator states that he interrogated both Muhammad and Defendant 1, and both of them gave an alibi claim that at the time of the murder or close to the time of the murder, they were separately at the gas station in Lod. According to him, after confirming with Defendant 1 and Muhammad that it was the Paz Yoseftal gas station in Lod, he made sure to issue an order to seize security cameras, and later he viewed files from a large number of cameras documenting what was happening in the gas station compound. Mr. Saban notes, among other things, that he began watching the videos continuously from 7:30 p.m., about an hour before the murder, but until 9:33 p.m. there is no mention of Muhammad or Defendant 1 in the videos or anyone similar to them. According to him, at 9:33 P.M., Camera 6C, which documents the entrance to the station, shows a light Corolla car, a blurred license plate 8846864 (Muhammad's car) entering the gas station, and stopping near the gas pumps, and later defendant 1, identified by him, is seen getting out of the car, and about a minute later Muhammad is also seen getting out of the car.
The court was also presented with exhibit P/79, which are pictures from the security camera footage at the gas station.
In Muhammad's conversation with the informant he was sitting with in the detention center, the informant asked Muhammad, "What, why did you come back like this?, what is it?, they caught something about you?And Muhammad replied, "Gas station." The informant asked Muhammad, "Did they check there?And Muhammad replied, "Oh, I ate it... I was there before but they checked in after an hour and an hour ago, and I don't show up,... In God, that's what makes me sad." In Mohammed's remarks to the informant, Muhammad expresses frustration that no photos of him were found at the gas station at the relevant times of the murder, and in fact it seems that he also failed in his attempt to make a good claim of "I was somewhere else" regarding the murder.
