The former head of an Armenian village’s administration shot the
incumbent to death Wednesday, the prosecutor-general’s office said.
The shooting took place in the courtyard of the village administration
building of Dalar. The prosecutor’s office said Gegam Badalian,
who had headed the administration until last fall, was arrested and
charged with killing his successor, Tigran Petrosian.
The prosecutor’s office said Petrosian had recently reported to the
regional prosecutor that Badalian allegedly had embezzled funds.
