Avetik Budaghyan was killed deliberately, not in self-defense, and
the murder was committed by a group of persons. So, it is obvious
that an extremely grievous crime has been stifled, Hayk Alumyan,
Artak Budaghyan's lawyer, has told ArmInfo.
"The case did not mention and subsequently failed to analyze certain
details and concealed some documents from the court. Budaghyan's
body has a wound inflicted from behind and the Khachatryans' defense
was trying to deny it for a long time. Afterwards the Khachatryans'
defense explained that the wound had been inflicted in self-defense.
These are mutually exclusive notions. The conclusion of the medical
assessors, who say that the shot at Avetik Budaghyan was fired from
above, also confirms my words", said Alumyan.
In the meantime, Alumyan says that the investigator's decision
mentions neither when the wound was inflicted nor why the track
of the bullet was vertically down. According to Alumyan's version,
either the shooter was above or Avetik Budaghyan was already lying
on the ground when being wounded. "Given that both versions rule out
self-defense, they once again prove that a shot was also fired from
Surik Khachatryan's house", he said.
On September 7 the Investigation Service of the Armenian Defense
Ministry dismissed the criminal case against Tigran Khachatryan, the
son of ex-governor of Syunik, and his bodyguard Zarzand Nikoghosyan.
Both were charged with the murder of ex-candidate for Goris mayor
Avetik Budaghyan. During the pretrial investigation, the Investigation
Service "found out" that Khachatryan's son and bodyguard just defended
themselves from Avetik and Artak Budaghyan who were attacking them.
Shortly after Tigran Khachatryan and Zarzand Nikoghosyan were set free.
