Sources close to RA prosecutor’s Office informed "Azg" about
some details on the murder of Albert Ghazarian, prosecutor of Lory
region. According to the information, after midnight Albert Ghazarian
left the prosecutor’s office and went home on foot. The head of the
investigative department walked with him and someone with the nickname
"Gotcho" some way and then left them and went home. Ghazarian and
Gotcho continued walking in direction of the houses of Ghazarian
and his relatives that were located in the left section after the
two crossroads on the way from the prosecutor’s office. When they
approached the house of Ghazarian, they heard the first shot that hit
the nech of the prosecutor. Anyway, he tried to escape, but he got
three other shots from the back on the left and right parts of his
chest and in his stomach. After the first shot, Gotcho began running
crying out "They shot him, they shot him." Having heard the shots,
the relative and the son of Ghazarian rushed out of the house. Soon
a policeman approached from the direction of the church not far from
the house. But, before they reached the spot, the killer had naturally
escaped. The first shot was already fatal for the prosecutor.

The killer followed Ghazarian through a smaller and darker street,
which he also used afterwards to escape. The killer shot from a
distance of 4 meters.

The supposition that the killer was a professional is proved by the
way the crime was committed, as all of the shots were aimed to hit
definite parts of the body.
