FATHER OF DETAINEES IN PROSHYAN GOVERNOR MURDER CASE CLAIMS SONS INNOCENT
13:09 ~U 17.04.13
The father of the two brothers detained over the assassination of
Hrach Muradyan, the governor of the Proshyan village (Kotayk region),
has denied his sons' complicity in the crime.
In an open letter to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, Chief of
Police Vladimir Gasparyan and Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan,
Arshak Petrosyan says he is unclear about the motives behind the
inquest body's decision to suspect his sons of the tragic incident.
The brothers, Arayik Petrosyan and Artak Petrosyan, were detained on
April 3, hours after the village governor was found dead outside his
office. Their father now claims that there were no objective reasons
for detaining his sons.
"Not having any objective fact bearing a direct relationship to the
incident, the inquest body cites my son's face and the 'antimony'
substance found inside his car as a gunshot result.
My son has given a relevant explanation in this connection, saying that
he had dealt with his cars batteries which, as specialist say, also
contain the substance known as antimony. In my deepest conviction,
nonetheless, my sons didn't have any motive for committing such a
crime. What's even more, they maintained normal, human relations with
late Muradyan," reads the letter.
Petrosyan says further that his family is also interested in a fair
proceeding that would lead the inquest body to resolve the crime
within the shortest possible timeframes and establish accountability
measures against those guilty.
He expresses concerns over what he calls artificial attempts to
convince the public that his sons really had conflicts with the late
governor. All that, according to him, is aimed at finding "traces"
to "justify" the detainees' relationship with the incident.
Petrosyan calls for measures to take the proceeding under direct
control, ensuring maximum permissible transparency and publicity.
