  Paper says former police chief’s son suspected in homicide case in Gyumri April 13, 2012 - 13:27 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - 27-year-old Karen Yesayan was shot near Mother Armenia memorial complex in Armenia’s northern city of Gyumri on April 12 night. Yesayan was the fiancé of Anna, the daughter of Armenian northern Gyumri city mayor Vardan Ghukasyan. According to Aravot paper, son of Ani district former police chief Samvel Sargsyan is the suspect assaulter. Friends of Yesayan’s family say the homicide came as a result of jealousy: former police chief’s son was also in love with the mayor’s daughter, and picked a mean way to take his revenge. Aravot tried to confirm this information with Shirak province prosecutor’s office. The response came saying that preliminary investigation is underway, and the motives have yet to be disclosed; Shirak province prosecutor had been working all night long in the police office.
