The persons, who committed robbery in a house in Ninotsminda town in the predominantly-Armenian-populated Samtskhe-Javakheti Province of Georgia and killed a 70-year-old Armenian woman, have been identified.

They are Temur B., Nodar A., Koba Sh., Ivane G., Ketevan Kh. and Dariko Sh., who are Georgians.

They have been arrested, and the trial of the respective criminal case has begun.

As reported earlier, several masked men entered a house in Ninotsminda on the night of January 13, beat the two women who were at home at the time, and one of them died on the spot.

The Ninotsminda residents told Armenian News-NEWS.am that these masked men had asked the landlady to open the door of the house maintaining that their car had broken down and they were left stranded, and they asked for their help. 

Entering the home, however, they brutally beat Sonik Sahakyan, 70, and her daughter-in-law Nazik Sahakyan, 50.

The 70-year-old woman died on the spot.
