Ezeh later confessed to killing Augustine who was his roommate after a row, and
taking his body to a forest area. It was gathered that on the day of the
incident, the suspect and the victim who both took alcohol were in the company
with some friends in a restaurant in Girne. They however started having issues
over a girl.

took Augustine to Haspolat - Taskent forest area and dumped him at the entrance
of the forest area after seeing that he was no longer breathing, instead of
going to the hospital.
