YEREVAN, MAY 14, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA Ombudsman Armen Harutyunian
expressed his concern in connection with the death of Levon Ghulian,
who was on May 12 invited as witness to the main department of the
criminal investigation of the RA Police. A. Harutyunian called on
the law enforcement bodies to conduct a comprehensive investigation,
as "there is unferified information which may refute the version of
an accident."
The RA Ombudsman will keep the further developments concerning this
case in the center of his attention, is said in the press release
submitted to NT from the RA ombudsman's office.
To recap, by an official press release of the police, Levon Ghulian,
31, director of the "Pandok" restaurant in Yerevan, fell out of the
window on the second floor of the RA police criminal investigation's
main department and died on the spot. He was invited to the department
in order to provide information for disclosure of the murder of
S. Vardanian committed in front of that restaurant on May 9.
According to evidence of relatives of L. Ghulian, he was thrown out
of the window by a high-ranking police official, who cruelly beat
L. Ghulian during his questioning on the scandalous murder. They
rule out the possibility that L. Ghulian intended to run away. The
relatives say that the experts, who examined L. Ghulian's body in the
mortuary, expressed an opinion that the death resulted from the blow
on the man's head with a blunt object: in their words, "such an injury
cannot be received as a result of falling from the second floor."
