YEREVAN, MAY 14, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA Ombudsman Armen Harutyunian expressed his concern in connection with the death of Levon Ghulian, who was on May 12 invited as witness to the main department of the criminal investigation of the RA Police. A. Harutyunian called on the law enforcement bodies to conduct a comprehensive investigation, as "there is unferified information which may refute the version of an accident." The RA Ombudsman will keep the further developments concerning this case in the center of his attention, is said in the press release submitted to NT from the RA ombudsman's office. To recap, by an official press release of the police, Levon Ghulian, 31, director of the "Pandok" restaurant in Yerevan, fell out of the window on the second floor of the RA police criminal investigation's main department and died on the spot. He was invited to the department in order to provide information for disclosure of the murder of S. Vardanian committed in front of that restaurant on May 9. According to evidence of relatives of L. Ghulian, he was thrown out of the window by a high-ranking police official, who cruelly beat L. Ghulian during his questioning on the scandalous murder. They rule out the possibility that L. Ghulian intended to run away. The relatives say that the experts, who examined L. Ghulian's body in the mortuary, expressed an opinion that the death resulted from the blow on the man's head with a blunt object: in their words, "such an injury cannot be received as a result of falling from the second floor."
