Lousine Sahakyan, the lawyer of the defendant Haroutyun Sargsyan on the case of the murder of the fiancé of the daughter of former mayor of Gyumri Vardan Ghukasyan, Karen Yesayan, submitted a request to the preliminary investigation body, the Police, with respect to terminating criminal prosecution against her defendant on the grounds of absence of a full crime.

As ‘Pastinfo’ was informed by the lawyer, she is sure that the request will be rejected, given that if the preliminary investigation body was objective it would do it by its own initiative.

As we have previously informed, the injured party is also displeased with the preliminary investigation: the representative of the successor of the injured Vardouhi Elbakyan submitted a request to the Police demanding to restart the preliminary investigation on the case. According to the party the preliminary investigation body did not guarantee the versatility of the investigation. According to V. Elbakyan the murder could not be committed by one person, thus the preliminary investigation body had to involve other possible participants of the crime as well. The request was rejected.

Let us remind that Karen Yesayan was killed on April 12. The son of the former Chief of Police of Ani area Haroutyun Sargsyan is accused of the crime.

H. Sargsyan is charged on the grounds of Article 104 and 188 Section 1 of the RA Criminal Code, i.e. murder and illegal entrepreneurship. The charge on the grounds of Article 235 of the RA Criminal Code, i.e. illegally carrying, preserving weapons, was removed from the scope of the charge. According to the information of ‘Pastinfo’ the hunting gun does not fall within the article’s disposition.
