On 2 November, human rights activist Zhanna Aleksanyan posted on her Facebook page that “Forensic medical examination revealed 22 bodily injuries on the body of Volodya Galoyan, who died in the Martuni military unit of Artsakh. This suggests that the young man was severely beaten before his death, but investigators are persistently investigating the false version of suicide. This version was released by the Investigative Committee just three hours after the incident. “
This is reported by the Investigative Committee.
We are informed that according to the forensic examination of V. Galoyan’s body, his death was a consequence of gross bodily injuries incompatible with his life, which was caused by gunshot wound, bullet-crossing injuries in the head and he died just after receiving the gunshot wound. During the forensic examination of V. Galoyan’s body, besides gunshot wounds, 3 scratches and 1 wound were found which are not characteristic of gunshot wounds: two of them were caused 2-3 days before, and the other from 2 hours to one day before. The above-mentioned injuries do not appear to have features of slight damage to the health of living persons and are not causally linked to his death. Other injuries are characteristic of gunshot wounds.
