    JUVENILE TESTIFIED TO MURDER BY WAY OF BEATINGS AND THREATS, SAYS MOTHER

    11.18.2014 18:07 epress.am

    16-year old defendant Hayk Aghmalyan (pictured) claims that he did
    not stab 16-year old Tigran Hayrapetyan, who died during a fight
    on April 9, 2014. During the November 14th hearing, the victim's
    parents claimed that Aghmalyan had changed his testimony under his
    new lawyer's persuasion. However, the defendant insists that he
    has changed his testimony not due to his lawyer, but after he saw
    a picture of Hayrapetyan. According to him, he participated in the
    fight and had stabbed someone he did not know, and at first he was
    unable to say if that person had died or not, however, after seeing
    Hayrapetyan's phot, he realized that he had not stabbed the latter.

    "A contradiction arose between my lawyer and me regarding this
    issue, and I stopped using his services. Only after being involved
    with my second lawyer did I testify and say that I had not stabbed
    Hayrapetyan," said Hayk Aghmalyan during the November 14 court hearing.

    During oral arguments, Aghmalyan's mother, Narine Aghmalyan, also
    spoke. She said that the police violently took her son to the police
    station from his grandmother's house; they did not allow a pedagogue,
    lawyer, or parent to be by him. The police, according to defendant's
    mother, beat her son at the station.

    "They hit his spine, after which he lost consciousness. They told him
    he had killed someone and that he'd better confess, if he cares about
    his mother and sister," said Aghmalyan's mother during the session.

    The charges against Aghmalyan are based on a fight participant Martin
    Gevorgyan's testimony. He said that Aghmalyan attacked Hayrapetyan's
    chest, however, there is no wound of any sort on the victim's chest.

    The defense is demanding that a suit be implemented against Gevorgyan
    for testifying falsely.
