Tourpal Khitaev, French citizen
Khitaev states that they were at the "Principote" club celebrating and after they finished they left the club and went down the stairs standing on the beach loungers. He was there with his friend Ibrahim and they were talking, while the other friends were further away and were talking. There were also three black people nearby who told him to fight like men, but he told him that they were not fighting and to mind your own business, we are just joking. There was also another boy nearby, who was drunk and was shouting. At this moment two people come out, who were employees of the bar and tell him not to shout because we work here!. One of them pulls me by the arm, dressed in short white clothes with a little beard and brown hair, who had a knife in his hand and who stabbed me in the leg. Then he shouted at everyone and told them not to shout. I tell him that I am not the one who was shouting and there were others, but this person insulted me by my mother. I tell him that why are you talking about my mother, I did not talk about your mother. At this moment he grabbed me by the throat and hit me in the face with his head and I responded by hitting him. I then fell on the deckchair and he continued to hit me. Several other people came there and were hitting us and my friends got into a conflict. Luis Miguel went in to stop those who were hitting me and then I saw my friend who was killed, who was fighting with two or three people in black T-shirts while the person in the white T-shirt, who was holding a knife in his hand, was threatening us. One of them grabbed me and pushed me away from the deckchairs. When I returned, the person in white took off his shirt, which was clearly covered in blood, and was walking away towards the street. I did not see the moment when he stabbed my friend Louis Miguel. When asked if he knew the person who was holding the knife in his hand and who had stabbed him in the leg, he answered yes, and after being shown a photo of citizen Sokrat Vata, he stated that he was the person who was holding the knife in his hand and who had stabbed him as well.
