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."
