The Sabail District Court today heard the testimony of the player, his mother and witnesses, as well as the mother of Rasim Aliyev.
Javid Huseynov again denied his guilt, saying he did not send his relatives to a showdown with the journalist.
However, the mother of the deceased journalist Teyfura Aliyeva did not accept his argument, saying the day of the beating Javid called Rasim 1-2 times and then his relative Elshan Ismayilov phoned.
Aliyeva also refuted the allegation of Elshan that he went to the showdown with Rasim, allegedly due to the fact that the journalist said something bad about his mother.
"My son could not say this," she said.
The footballer’s mother Khalida Hajiyeva said Javid did not know about the meeting of his relatives with the journalist, and learned about his beating from the Internet.
