ArmInfo. Two people have been detained in connection with the death of Narek Torosyan, a serviceman from the Nth military unit of the Armenian Armed Forces. This was reported by the Investigative Committee of Armenia.
The department reported that during the preliminary investigation into the criminal case opened in connection with the death of a serviceman, a public criminal prosecution was initiated against his colleague, a junior sergeant, under paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 of Part 2 of Article 522 of the Criminal Code, and against the private serviceman, under paragraphs 1 and 3 of Part 2 of Article 522 (driving a serviceman to suicide through negligence).
"Both were detained. A petition for their arrest has been filed with the court," the Investigative Committee of Armenia stated.
It should be noted that on July 22, it was revealed that the serviceman who died on July 21 in military unit N was RAU student Narek Torosyan.
Interestingly, the Armenian Ministry of Defense made no announcement regarding the death. The Investigative Committee of Armenia's initial statement contained no information other than the fact of non- combat death and the initiation of a criminal case, and Then, only the initials of the deceased soldier were released. This sparked outrage in Armenian society, as it left the parents of the young men currently serving in the army uncertain, as their initials could have matched those of the deceased. In the past, the Armenian Ministry of Defense typically published the first, last, and patronymic names of the deceased.
Meanwhile, according to media reports, the soldier was brutally beaten. Moreover, this occurred during his first combat duty, which prompted him to commit suicide. However, such incidents are typically considered premeditated murder. It is reported that two suspects-servicemen from the same military unit in Chambarak-are expected to be detained in the case.
