A convicted murderer pardoned by President Serzh Sarkisian in 2010 has emerged as another suspect in a recent brutal attack in the Armenian town of Goris that was allegedly orchestrated by a son of Suren Khachatrian, a notorious regional governor.
The suspect, Mayis Khachatrian, is the governor's nephew who has spent six years in prison for a murder committed in 2004. According to law-enforcement authorities, he went on the run at the weekend after being charged with involvement in last month's severe beating of two Goris residents, the Zakarian brothers.
One of the brothers suffered a broken nose while the other lost vision in one eye. The victims say that their attackers were led by Tigran Khachatrian, a notoriously violent son of the governor of Armenia's southeastern Syunik province. Tigran and his father deny these allegations.
