As such, the police have now decided to approach Payne’s partner in a bid to gain more clarity on the matter.
Here’s everything you need to know regarding the latest update in Payne’s case.
Kate Cassidy agrees to interview with police in Argentina
As conveyed by The New York Post, the Argentinian police have contacted Liam Payne’s girlfriend in an attempt to extract a witness statement from Kate Cassidy. While Cassidy is currently not under supervision for any wrongdoing, the authorities have asked for her help to get a better understanding of the fateful events that occurred on October 16.
Things began to unravel after Payne’s autopsy revealed traces of crack and a compound drug known as “pink cocaine” in his system. As such, the police have charged three people for somehow contributing to the singer’s passing so far. The first is Roger Nores, a close friend and business associate of Payne. However, Nores has denied all wrongdoing and instead blamed the hotel staff for negligence.
The second is Braian Nahuel Paiz, a former waiter at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, who is accused of selling cocaine to Payne during his stay. Once again, the defendant has repudiated all charges on his part. The third suspect is an unidentified “drug supplier” who allegedly provided the Teardrops singer with substances two days prior to his accidental death.
Liam Payne was holidaying in Argentina with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, before his demise. Cassidy left the country on October 14 to tend to personal matters, leaving her beau behind. Since the police’s request to converse with Kate Cassidy, a friend of the influencer has come out to shed light on the matter. “She’s going to help in any way she can,” the friend stated before adding, “Obviously, there’s no reason for her not to cooperate.”
