The Argentinian waiter who was arrested in connection with Liam Payne's death has revealed the keepsake he accepted off Liam, after turning down his Rolex. Braian Nahuel Paiz, 24, said he met Liam in the restaurant he worked in two nights before he died, saying they spent the nights together drinking whiskey and taking cocaine. He was arrested on charges of supplying and facilitating narcotics, but denies any involvement in his death.
Now, in a bombshell interview, he admitted that although they took cocaine together, he didn't sell them to Liam and only accepted one thing he offered - a drawing. Speaking on TMZ's documentary Liam Payne: Who's to Blame?, the hospitality worker and student has spoken out about what really happened on the few fateful days before Liam died after falling from a balcony at a Buenos Aires hotel.
Paiz said: "They say I'm a dealer, that I carried drugs, that I sold them. The truth is that no, I didn’t sell them.". When asked if the waiter used drugs with Liam, he said yes, on both the first and second night that they spent time together. When asked which drugs, he confirmed they took cocaine together.
Paiz said: "There wasn’t even a lot of it but we had some with whiskey." He added that a Dove soap box - that has been noticed in crime scene photographs - was in the room, as was some aluminium foil. The interviewer asked Paiz if he took any money, to which he denied, saying that Liam also offered him his Rolex, but he turned it down.
However, there was one item that he did accept from Liam after it was offered. He told the interviewer: "I didn’t accept anything, just a drawing he drew which was part of my eyes, nose, mouth." He gestured to an area of his face to show which part Liam had sketched. "He draws, I draw," he added. "I’m studying to do it, so I had drawings.".
