Preliminary investigation of the criminal case initiated on inflicting heavy bodily damage to the minors with a cutting-piercing tool was completed in the Investigative Division of Ajapnyak and Davitashen administrative districts of Yerevan Investigative Department of RA Investigative Committee.
In the result of investigatory and procedural actions conducted during preliminary investigation it was found that the minors were inflicted damages on February 22, 2015 at about 19:00 during the row that took place near the school N 195 of Yerevan.
The person having committed the apparent crime, who was also a minor, was identified, as well.
According to the evidence obtained through preliminary investigation, on February 22, 2015 at about 19:00 the minor Abovyan met his acquaintance at the crossroad of Mazmanyan and Bashinjaghyan streets of Yerevan and asked him to lend him his mobile phone to make a call.
Talking on the phone they walked to the yard of the school N 195 where they met other acquaintances. A row erupted between them during which two minors – Nikoghosyan and Sahakyan were inflicted bodily damages. According to the result of forensic medical examination Nikoghosyan was inflicted heavy bodily damage at the left part of his chest, Sahakyan was inflicted medium-gravity damage.
During preliminary investigation the injured Sahakyan did not submit a complaint. According to the Article 183 of RA Criminal Procedure Code criminal cases on infliction of medium-gravity damage are initiated on the base of the complaint of the injured party. Thus, considering this fact, on March 19, 2015 a decision was made not to institute criminal proceeding against Abovyan for inflicting medium-gravity bodily damage to V. Sahakyan based on the absence of the complaint of the injured party.
Based on the evidence obtained during pretrial proceeding Abovyan was charged with infliction of heavy bodily damage to Nikoghosyan according to the Part 1 of the Article 112 of RA Criminal Code. Handing him over for supervision to the parents was chosen as a pretrial measure against him.
The criminal case with the bill of indictment was sent to the prosecutor supervising the legality of preliminary investigation. The bill of indictment was confirmed and the case was sent to the Court of First Instance of Ajapnyak and Davitashen administrative districts.
Note; Everyone charged with alleged crime offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law.
