Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepyan stated in a briefing on July 25 that the murder of Stepan Zatikyan, the son of the former head of Malatia Sebastia community Vahan Zatikyan has been revealed, all the participants of the murder have been exposed. According to Aghvan Hovsepyan, efforts are made now to reveal all the circumstances of the crime. “Today we have information about the killers and the initiators which show that the motive of the murder was personal, non-friendly relations. The investigation revealed evidence that about 30 thousand dollars was paid,” Aghvan Hovsepyan stated.
He also provided information about another scandalous murder a few years ago in Yerevan, the killing of Goga, a criminal authority, in front of the Arabkir branch of Armeconombank. Earlier the head of the department of investigations on important crimes stated during the meeting of the college of the Office of Prosecutor General that Haik Israelyan had been arrested for the murder of Shahen Hovasapyan, the head of the department of investigation of the State Tax Service. It became known that Israelyan is also the killer of Goga. “You already know we have arrested a person charged with the murder of Shahen Hovasapyan. A person was convicted for the murder of Goga a few years ago, a representative of the criminal world, if you remember. A person was tried for this crime who is now serving sentence. New circumstances were revealed, and the process was investigated by the detectives for important cases, and evidence came that Haik Israelyan was the killer,” says the attorney general.
He says presently the person who is serving sentence for the murder of Goga was an accomplice. “Even the clothes, he described Haik Israelyan’s clothes as his own clothes because there were witnesses who said the killer was wearing such clothes. But when we examined the clothes, we found hair which belonged to Haik Israelyan. The previous investigating body, since he had confessed, testified to the circumstances of the murder, they could not doubt that another person might have committed the crime. After the revelation of new circumstances we appealed to the Court of Cassation. The Court of Cassation cancelled the verdict, and now we will prosecute these two persons,” Aghvan Hovsepyan said.
