"Nobody wanted to say where he was, but many knew. We heard that there, at the gate, he stood in the middle of the road. A person passed, but many said that he was drunk. Afterward, they covered him with a blanket, dragged him in a yard and went back to drinking" the father said.
His mother claims that her son was murdered in cold blood.
