Extraordinary Incident in Gyumri: The Mother of Vardan Ghukasian's Slain Son-in-Law Murdered in Her Clothing Store

An extraordinary incident has occurred in Gyumri: Anahit Esayan, the owner of a clothing store, has been murdered in her shop. She is the mother of Karen Esayan, who was murdered the day before his engagement ceremony in Gyumri on April 12, 2013. Karen was the son-in-law of the former mayor of Gyumri, Vardan Ghukasian.

Law enforcement is currently on the scene, and a forensic expert has arrived. According to employees of nearby stores, the curtains in Esayan's shop were closed, which seemed unusual at that hour. Concerned, they called her but received no response, and then alerted her relatives.
