    SUSPECTS IN THE BEATING OF WAR VETERAN RELEASED FROM PRISON

    04.09.2015 12:27 epress.am

    Gevorg Sargsyan, known by the nickname "Jungle", and his nephew Sargis
    Ghukasyan were released from prison several days ago, reports local
    dailyHraparak. The two men were accused of brutally beating Karabakh
    War veteran Vardan Tumanyan, 55, in the Yerevan administrative district
    of Nor Nork in July 2014. After the beating, the war veteran died,
    while Á follow-up examination showed that Tumanyan's death was caused
    by a birth defect.

    Hraparak spoke to Tumanyan's wife, Tanya Melkonyan: "Basically,
    they surprised us. They revealed to us on Christ's Revelation day
    that those murderers were set free. Today, those investigators,
    prosecutors, and committees are forcing me to commit a genocide on
    the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide; to
    throw a grenade inside their homes, or bomb their cars when they are
    in it...they are provoking me."

    The dispute between Vardan Tumanyan and one of the men in the
    neighbordhood, Babken, began in the yard when Babken got into an
    argument with his friend with whom he was playing chess, and Vardan
    intervened, which Babken didn't like. He attacked Vardan with the chess
    board. Vardan pushed Babken, who a few minutes later sent for his son,
    Gevorg Sargsyan, "Jungle", who worked as a guard at Ellanightclub
    in Nor Nork. Sargsyan and his friends invited Vardan for a talk,
    demanded an apology, and when Vardan asked for what, they began to
    beat him in the yard, right before the eyes of his wife and daughter.

    The Police initiated a criminal case; Gevorg Sargsyan and his nephew
    Sargis Ghukasyan were arrested.

    According to the first forensic examination, Tumanyan died as a result
    of injuries caused by the beating. However, a new committee was formed
    for a follow-up examination, headed by expert Fanarjyan.

    Tumanyan's wife, Tanya, is demanding a third examination with the
    participation of an independent foreign expert, because, Melkonyan
    alleged, the defendants bribed the experts during the second
    examination.
