The Investigative Committee reports that on January 22, 2020, at around 17:30 a resident of Tavush Marz called the police that he had found his wife hanged in their house and said it was a suicide.

The investigative group found the body of the woman born in 1990 hanged with an agricultural rope. External examination of the body revealed signs of violence. It was confirmed that the 30-year-old woman had not committed a suicide but was a victim of homicide.

Preliminary investigation found out that the spouses had a quarrel over private issues during which the husband strangled his wife with an agricultural rope and later created an imitation of suicide in order to conceal the crime.

The Investigative Committee reports that the man born in 1989 is arrested under the suspicion of murder. The man has confessed to the crime.
