Earlier this evening, “Hetq” learnt that one Karen Petrosyan was picked up by police as a suspect in what appears to be the premeditated murder of Khosrov Forest Reserve Director Samvel Shaboyan at around 11:50 last night.

A car was reported to have pulled up alongside the Toyota Prado in which Mr. Shabyan was riding on Myasnikyan Avenue after which a fusillade of shots rang out. An inspection of the Toyota revealed some thirty bullet holes
