Patrick and Thomas were allegedly the dominant force in the discussion Roman, who drove the car for the commission of the crime, claims to have been unconvinced that her transgression warranted murder. Roman, a compulsive gambler and alcoholic at odds with his parents, was an old friend of Thomas but their association had recently terminated. Three weeks before the murder, Roman met Thomas again and the pressure to regain his approval clearly contributed to his decision to assist in the murder.As the clique drove back from an evening at a local pub, Patrick took his belt off and tied it around Andreas neck. She managed to shake him off, but Thomas ordered Roman to turn off the main road and they assaulted her again.
