The court held hearing on witnessesâ€™ testimony, incident, as well as the court secretaryâ€™s report on suspect Nicolas Stusmanâ€™s life. The judge asked the defendant about the conditions of murder. There were controversial points in his testimony during the preliminary and court investigations. Then videotapes shot by a camera in the tram where the Azerbaijani man was killed, were shown.

The videotapes showed that French man, who killed Aghayev, talked loud via mobile phone and demonstrated aggressiveness. He turned to Orkhan and told him â€œDonâ€™t look at meâ€ and then took a knife and stabbed his throat.

The investigators said 32-year old defendant experienced family problems and was grown by his grandmother. He served in French army during the operations in former Yugoslavia. The court also made clear that Stuzman used alcohol and narcotic drugs. He was brought to justice earlier for the different violations of law.

Late Orkhan Agayevâ€™s father Aliheydar Aghayev and brother Vusal also attended the trial.
