WILL FORMER POLICE CHIEF BE SUMMONED TO COURT?
A Kotayk court today resumed the hearing into the death of 24-year
old Vahan Khalafian, who sustained a fatal injury while in the custody
of the Charentsavan police station on April 13.
Today the court was to hear Charentsavan’s former Chief of Police
Norayr Heboyan but the latter did not show up due to some health
problems. He had asked to rely on his testimony given during the
preliminary investigation. Both the plaintiff and the accusant motioned
that Norayr Heboyan be summoned to court.
The next court sitting is due on August 18.
Today’s hearing ended with a scuffle between the relatives of Khalafian
and defendants.
Four policemen are suspected in Khalafian’s murder – Ashot Harutyunyan,
Mores Hayrapetyan, Garik Davtyan and Ggaik Ghazaryan.
