A 17-year-old is dead, and the video of who threw the first punch is evidence a court will have to watch. Holding both brothers is a detention order while the investigation continues. It does not decide which blows, if any, caused the fall.

João Franco, 36, and his brother Karlos Franco, 34, are in jail in Bodrum, Turkey. A judge at the Bodrum courthouse ordered the two Portuguese nationals held after a Saturday night fight outside a clothing shop on Cumhuriyet Caddesi. No homicide charge has been announced.

A 17-year-old employee of the shop fell during the fight and hit his head. He went into cardiac arrest. Medics revived him. He died Monday at Muğla Training and Research Hospital. Video of the fight appears to show Karlos throwing the first punch. Two other people who had been detained were released under judicial control. Bravo declined to comment.

All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
