Life-termer’s case hearing adjourned
Court of General Jurisdiction of Ajapnyak and Davtashen districts has adjourned the hearing in the case of life-term prisoner Mher Enokyan as the defendant's representative did not show up in the court.
Mher Enokyan sues Kentron TV Company for providing biased coverage of the criminal case.
The TV Company reported that Mher Enokyan has been sentenced to imprisonment for killing two and more persons and participating in bandit attacks.
Mher Enokyan, a third year student of dental department of the Medical University, was imprisoned at the age of 20. He was sentenced to death for killing his friend. In 2003 when death penalty was abolished, his sentence was changed to life imprisonment.
Mher has not accepted his guilt to date.
His relatives have appealed to various instances demanding to review the verdict but to no avail.
The life-termer has planned two escapes from the prison. First time he escaped from Goris prison, on December 9, 2004, the second time he escaped two months ago on December, 2009. Both times he was caught in the center of the city.
Mher says he planned the escapes to call public attention to the case.
The next court sitting is set for February 28.
