Serviceman is accused of murder, but there are no fingerprints on the weapon (video)
Serviceman Davit Dumikyan is not the murderer; he has become a victim of unlawfulness, claims the legal representative of the aggrieved party. Davit, who has been in custody for already 9 months, is accused of murder of fellow servicemen Suren Aramyan and Grigor Avetisyan on April 6, 2016. Ruben Martirosyan says: “Dumikyan rejected self-confession testimony and informed that he was forced to give that testimony and the people, who made him do that, were military police officials, in particular, tall colonel.” According to Ruben Martirosyan, Davit Dumikyan is accused of the murder in the case, when it hasn’t been proved that he had fired from the weapon. “There aren’t Dumikyan’s fingerprints on Dumikyan’s weapon. Are there any on their weapons? There isn’t any fingerprint on any weapon and it is typical of unlawful investigation, which is usual in Armenia.” According to human rights activist, the investigator tried to lead the case in another direction, defending the real criminals. “If there were 18 weapons in the military post, those weapons should have been sent to ballistic expertise. But one of the weapons was hidden by the investigator. If the investigator doesn’t carry out any examination over this important issue, it means that the very investigator or the investigative body eliminated the fingerprints.” The human rights activist states that it has become usual that soldiery crimes aren’t revealed. “All those bodies, Prosecutor’s Office, the RA Investigative Committee, the RA Military Police, Courts, which are supposed to reveal crimes and by that prevent future crimes, act against their title, work against the law.” And in this case, he says, in case of fair investigation the investigators shouldn’t have missed an important episode. Another serviceman and Captain also took part in the bloody incident. They had had problems with each other before going to the military post. A month before the incident the serviceman had beaten the Captain, for which he was sent to penal military unit.
