According to SHAMSHYAN.com, the Investigative Committee of Armenia is conducting an investigation in the Shengavit division of the Yerevan Investigative Department regarding a report received from the 6th subgroup of the emergency medical service on October 4.

As photojournalist Gagik Shamshyan reports, at 19:30 on that day, a team of the emergency medical service’s 6th subgroup alerted the Shengavit police that they had responded to a call from a house in the Noragavit neighborhood, where they discovered a woman electrocuted in the bathroom.

The operational team from the Shengavit police, headed by the head of the criminal investigation department, Aperyan, and a team from the Shengavit Investigative Division, led by senior investigator Baveyan, arrived at the scene. A forensic doctor also worked on-site.
