According to Kitsmarishvili, three volumes out of seven of Erosi Kitsmarishvili’s death case have been studied by them and the report about the case will be ready soon.
“Our version is different from the investigation’s version based on various reasons. We will soon sum-up all the facts and publish it, so that the public can see the details of the case,” stated Kitsmarshvil. He still believes that his brother did not commit suicide.
“I don’t believe that the suicide version is true, because while studying the case we found many details which are against this version,” stated Kitsmarishvili.
Kitsmarishvili’s family Barrister Gagi Mosiashvili said that they are studying all the materials that are delivered to them.
The date when the Prosecutor’s Office’s released a conclusion over the case still remains unclear.
