According to preliminary information, the assailant had killed the mother and her daughters with a blunt instrument, and strangled the boy to death.
The table and chairs of the house were lying on the floor, and the house was sooty with smoke.
The father of the family, Vaghinak Kachotyan, works in Russia.
