Husband Beat Wife to Death in Masis (VIDEO)



A 20 year old wife, Zaruhi Petrosyan, was killed on October 1, 2010, due to injury from beatings from her husband and mother-in-law. However, the official report states that there was no foul play, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The husband, Yanis Sarkisov, was questioned, but no charges have been filed.

ArmeniaNow has a piece about this, but focuses mostly on the problem of domestic violence in Armenia. I have subtitled the above video (I thank those who uploaded it first on YouTube) to make it more accessible to the non Eastern-Armenian speakers. Please help with corrections as you find them.
