He carried a pair of shoes before putting them in the back of Ms. Petra’s SUV parked near the restaurant. Olaf then departed with Ms. Petra in the SUV.
Two hours later, Ms. Petra met with victim Mr. Hans Peter Mack at the same coffee shop that she visited in the morning. She told Mr. Hans that she was interested in buying a boxing gym in Huay Yai, Banglamung, which was owned by Mr. Hans. After one hour of talking, they went out from the coffee shop which was the place that Mr. Hans was last seen alive.
