There is almost no new information about the murder of the deputy chief of police Gevorg Mheryan. A statement by the office of the prosecutor general said its Special Investigative Service (SIS) as well as the Armenian police and the National Security Service (NSS) swiftly formed a special team tasked with solving the crime. It said the SIS opened on Tuesday night a criminal case under two articles of Armenia’s Criminal Code. One of them deals with murders of individuals committed as a result of their work. Hector Sardaryan, a senior SIS official leading the probe, told that the investigators believe Mheryan was most probably gunned down because of his “professional activities.” This is what the police initially says in these cases without details.
