Armenia’s Investigative Committee continues conducting a large-scale probe as part of the criminal case launched into the armed attack on the house of a former Armenian top judge by three gunmen.

As reported earlier, three masked attackers armed with assault rifles burst into the mansion belonging to Arman Mkrtumyan, former Chairman of Armenia’s Court of Cassation, located in Dzoraghbyur, a village outside capital Yerevan. Due to the resistance shown by Mkrtumyan and his 30-year-old son, one of the assailants was neutralized, while the two others fled the scene, opening sporadic gunfire.

The subdued attacker, identified as Hovannes Ryzhenko, a 45-year-old resident of Armenia’s second largest city of Gyumri, has been detained. Ammo cases and an assault rifle with bullets have been discovered and confiscated from the scene.

The ex-judge has suffered gunshot wounds due to the incident, the committee said, adding he has been recognized as a victim.

All necessary measures are being taken to track down the other attackers and fully uncover the case.
