New witnesses have confirmed that Zaruhi Petrosyan was being beaten
on regular basis by her husband.
At a recent court hearing on the case a neighour who is a minor
testified to the court that Zaruhi Petrosyan was in the last weeks
before her death in low spirits and sad.
The witness, identified as E., also said his/her grandmother saw how
Yanis Sarkisov, Zaruhi's husband, was pulling from her as she bent
down in an attempt to protect her belly from punches a week before
her death.
Zaruhi Petrosyan, 20, was beaten to death by her husband Yanis Sarkisov
last year.
The testimonies of two other witnesses who are currently not in
Armenia were also unveiled during that court hearing. According to
their accounts, they witnessed how Sarkisov was beating her.
One of the witnesses also said that the Zaruhi wanted to divorce and
told the witness about it, adding life was becoming unbearable with
Sarkisov due to his regular beatings and harsh treatment.
The results of several examinations were also unveiled during the
court hearing. The defense submitted a motion to hold the hearing
behind closed doors, but the judge rejected it.
The next hearing is scheduled on September 30.
