ArmInfo. In the room where the body of the former head of the NSS, Georgy Kutoyan, was found, dozens of bullets and cartridges were found. In addition, there are damage  on the walls. Artur Melikyan, deputy head of the RA Investigative  Committee, said this in an interview with reporters on January 17.

He also informed that at the scene of the incident award "Glock''  pistol was discovered received earlier by Kutoyan from the leadership  of Georgian Security Services. When asked if the found bullets and  shells apply for this gun, Melikyan noted that only a forensic  ballistic examination can determine that.

The forensic report will be received on January 18. Meanwhile,  Melikyan said that Kutoyan was gunshot wounded at his temple.

Law enforcement authorities conduct the necessary investigative  measures. In particular, video recordings are seized, the spouse and  father of the deceased are interrogated. It was the wife who  discovered the body upon returning home.

A criminal case was instituted under Article 110 of the RA Criminal  Code (Bringing to Suicide), however, Melikyan did not exclude the  possibility of proposing other versions. "It could be a murder or a  suicide- tuned one," he said, adding that the investigation would  answer this question.

It should be noted that on January 17 in Yerevan in one of the houses  at Paruyr Sevak Street  the body of the former head of the National  Security Service of the Republic of Armenia Gevorg Kutoyan was found  with traces of a gunshot wound.

To recall, Kutoyan held the post of head of the National Security  Service of the Republic of Armenia from 2016 to 2018. After Kutoyan  left the NSS, some documents disappeared, mainly related to the case  on March 1, 2008.
