The two stayed together before Tair entered the school building to drink water - and was murdered in the girls' bathroom.

In her testimony at the first trial, given in March 2008, Mika recounted how they sat and listened to music together: Gum from my bag, got up and went for a drink. "

She further testified then that when she went in to look for Tair after not returning, she noticed for a split second a foreign man.

She said in retrospect, after seeing Zadorov in the media, she recognized that he was similar to the same person.

She described carrying a load in his hands and climbing the stairs leading to the bathroom where the murder took place.

When asked then by defense attorney David Spiegel about the exact time she saw the man, she burst into tears.

Who would have believed it she would be murdered, "she said.

Spiegel claimed that her description of the man she had seen for a split second, and his paintings was nothing like the novel, not the structure of the face - oval, not sunken sockets, and wrinkles under the eyes and other details like long nose And large.

The defense attorney added at the time that at the time when the witness saw the figure climbing the stairs, Zadorov was still waiting outside the school yard for his employer to bring him glue for his work.
