New Year passed by Kachotyans’ house this year: the door of Armenian Kachotyan family whose members were killed at home in July in Vachiani village, Javakheti Province of Georgia, remained closed.

This year the door was closed, unlike previous years when the house was full of guests during New Year holidays…

After returning from Russia the father of the family could not find strength to enter the house, where his wife and three children were killed.

Nodar Akopov, 24, a resident of the same village, was accused of the murder of the Kachotyan family. He pleaded guilty to having committed the murders, and presented the respective details.  He committed suicide in the prison, but the father of the family, Vaghinak Kachotyan, did not believe the version of suicide noting that it was staged and he was alive.

As Armenian News- News.am reported earlier, four members of Armenian Kachotyan family—the mother, 37, and three children, 5,13,18 years old—were found dead in their home by their neighbors, on July 10.

According to preliminary information, the assailant had killed the mother and her daughters with a blunt instrument, and strangled the boy to death.
