The investigation into the death of Liam Payne continues. A second man suspected of supplying drugs to the British singer before his death on October 16 in a Buenos Aires hotel surrendered to the police on Tuesday.
“The 21-year-old went to the Barracas police station (south of Buenos Aires) after his lawyer announced that his client would surrender,” police sources said. He is one of the employees of the Casa Sur hotel where the ex-member of the boy band One Direction died after falling from the 3rd floor balcony of his room.
Five people prosecuted
On Friday, a first man prosecuted according to the prosecution for also having “delivered cocaine” was arrested. The Argentine courts established that there had been a “supply of drugs for money” and ordered the detention of the two alleged dealers.
Five people in total are being prosecuted in the investigation into the accidental death of the 31-year-old singer. According to the prosecution, it is “RLN, agent of the victim (in Argentina) and who accompanied Payne during this trip to Buenos Aires in order to renew his American visa; the hotel manager, GAM, and the hotel front desk manager, ERG.” Left free, they face sentences of one to five years in prison.
