ArmInfo. Head of Criminal Investigation Division of Charentsavan
Police Department A.Haroutyunyan has been arrested under the Vahan
Khalafyan case
The special investigatory service of Armenia reports that Haroutynyan
is suspected of abusing his office and causing Khalafyan to commit
suicide. Preliminary investigation is underway.
A police investigator was arrested a few days ago under the same case
on the same suspicion.
To remind, Apr 13 after pleading guilty of theft Vahan Khalafyan
killed himself right in the office of Charenistavan Police Department.
Chief of the Police of Armenia Alik Sargsyan says that nobody beat
Khalafyan and nobody caused him to kill himself. He says that in
2005 Khalafyan was relieved of military duty because of deliberate
self-harm. Khalafyan’s relatives say that this is not true and claim
that the policemen tortured Vahan.
