According to Shamshyan.com, police officers and investigators determined that on the same day, between 1:00 PM and 4:40 PM, preliminary information suggested that a 30-year-old resident of Chinari, Nairuhi A., had committed suicide by hanging herself with a rope from a baby crib in her bedroom.

Upon arrival at the scene, a forensic doctor examined the body and reported that abrasions were found around the face area during the external examination of the corpse. According to G.
