ONE of the three suspects being investigated over Liam Payne’s death has broken his silence to insist he did nothing wrong.
Argentinian waiter Braian Nahuel Paiz, who has been identified as the singer’s “dealer” in an ongoing prosecution probe, admitted to two hotel meetings with the 31-year-old before his tragic fall.

But he insisted he never supplied Liam with narcotics or accepted any money from him.
The 24-year-old said he spent the night with the former One Direction singer at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires during a second meeting.
Braian appeared on Argentinian TV on Saturday and claimed that the pair met more than once.
Their initial encounter was at the restaurant in the upmarket neighbourhood of Puerto Madero where Braian worked.
There, the waiter claimed he and Liam exchanged contact details as the singer dined with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy and two other people.
A nervous Braian spoke in an on-camera interview to journalist Guillermo Panizza, claiming that Liam used a “secret” Instagram to communicate with him.
After meeting at the restaurant, the Argentinian claims his first encounter with the Brit star was on October 2 at another hotel the singer was staying, before he moved to CasaSur Palermo.
Braian said in a first segment of the bombshell interview: “I never supplied Liam with drugs.”
He admitted his former home has been searched but claimed he is yet to be quizzed by investigators.
