New video with details about the beating to death of U.S. tourist
The American tourist murdered in Greece was fleeing his attackers when they slammed him into a parked car, unleashing a fury of fatal punches and kicks, shocking surveillance video shows.
Bakari Henderson — captured on CCTV from a camera in what appears to be a restaurant — is seen running down a sidewalk on the party island of Zakynthos.
The 22-year-old recent college grad tries to make his way across the street to escape the mob at 3:15 a.m. local time Friday.
A brutal attacker intercepts Henderson, and throws the doomed Texan into the back of a sedan.
A mob of men are then seen beating down on Henderson for nearly half a minute.
Finally a woman is seen breaking up the attack, as several people try to keep hitting Henderson.
Henderson was visiting Greece for a photoshoot when he was killed.

Patrons inside the restaurant appear to be in shock while Henderson lays motionless on the ground.
Authorities are seen arriving roughly five minutes into the 15-minute clip.
The recent University of Arizona graduate later died of his injuries at a local hospital on the island.
Henderson suffered severe head injuries, doctors said.
There have been varying accounts about how the fight started.

Henderson was visiting the island as part of a photoshoot for a clothing line he planned to launch, his family said.
While at Bar Code, a watering hole in the island’s tourist-heavy Laganas section, he and a friend tried to take a photo with a waitress, according to Greek media.
The photo request allegedly irked a bouncer, Greek media reported, somehow sparking the fight and eventual murder.
A friend told CBS News that account wasn’t true, however.
Henderson and a few friends set their beers at a table where two men were sitting, the friend said.
The mob continued punching and attacking him as people looked on in horror.

The two men took the bottles, smashed them and waved the sharded ends as a threat, he told the network.
Nine men have been charged with intentional homicide in the Austin native’s death.
One of the suspects is a Greek bartender, another was a British national of Serbian origin, and eight were Serbian tourists.
Five of the nine suspects appeared before a judge in Zakynthos on Wednesday, with the other four due in court Thursday.
