Is Seeking Revenge for Having Sexual Relations with a Relative Justified in Vanadzor?

As previously reported, on October 4th, an ambulance crew responded to an alarm in Vanadzor and discovered individuals with gunshot wounds, three of whom died and five were hospitalized with gunshot injuries, with one more later dying in the hospital.

The perpetrator of the murders is also from Vanadzor and has provided a self-incriminating testimony. According to ArmDaily.am, the murders were committed out of revenge. One of the deceased and the murderer were close friends. The latter found out that his friend was having sexual relations with a relative. He met with his friend to demand honor and settle the score, but the friend claimed that everything was consensual with the relative, after which an argument ensued. The young man fled to his home, while others pursued him.

He fired at his pursuers with a weapon he kept at home.
