A 50-year-old man from the Gegharkunik province village of Tsovasar killed his 40-year-old wife at around 4 am on May 6, Tsovasar village head Artashes Mkhitaryan told Epress.am on Monday. Mkhitaryan, however, refused to tell us any of the spouses’ names.
The village head said he was surprised to find himself cited by the press as having said that the woman was beaten to death with keys; Mkhitaryan claims that he has only told reporters that “he beat her with ‘some item’.”
According to Mkhitaryan, the husband allegedly has mental health problems and has periodically spent time in a psychiatric hospital.
