It is doubtful whether the questions addressed to the informant could have explained an explanation other than the one above, but either way the informant explained what we know, that Muhammad told him that Defendant 2 "knew" about the murder, and thus the question of interpretation of the trial remained.
When Investigator Saban was asked in his testimony in court why he did not ask the informant to enter Muhammad again, and to ask him whether Munir "knew" about the murder before or after it was committed, his answer was "I wish I had a chance" (P. 29.10.20, p. 83, paras. 6-15), and his intention was to say presumably that, according to the reasonable interpretation, the meaning of Muhammad's words was that the respondent knew about the murder at the time of the interrogation. He wished he had the opportunity to clarify the matter, but it was not possible.
From all of the above, it can be said that according to the "plain meaning" of Muhammad's words to the informant, Defendant 2 "knew" at the time of the interrogation about the murder, and there is no statement regarding his knowledge of the murder at the time of its commission.
According to the accuser's counsel, a perusal of pages 4 and 5 of the transcript of P/20A refutes the claim of defendant 2 that he knew about the murder only from a media site after the murder, since it is clear and understandable that defendant 2 was an integral part of planning and execution together with the accomplice Muhammad, and therefore we will continue to examine what was said later by Muhammad.
"How does he know I'm getting there" – following the above, a dialogue took place between Muhammad and the informant regarding Defendant 2, as follows:
"Detainee No. 1, known as "Bilal Rayan": ......... The testimony that he will give... Even if the person who came to take you knows you, you murdered (an unclear word) did he testify about you? Did he see? He didn't see.
Detainee No. 2, Muhammad Assiwi: But he knows about the car.
Stop No. 1, known as "Bilal Rayyan": By car?
