Prosecutor’s office investigates negligence after alleged damage of evidence in minor’s case of death

The Georgian Prosecutor General’s Office on Wednesday opened an investigation for negligence of official duties following the claims by a domestic non-governmental organization during the day that a “key evidence” in the case of the death of a 12-year-old Anna Ianushaitite had been damaged. 

The body pointed to alleged violation of storage conditions and said mold-like cracks had been found on samples taken from the corpse. 

The body of the teeneger was found in the Didi-Digomi district of Tbilisi on March 17, after several-hour search, with several domestic media outlets naming food asphyxiation behind the fatality. 

However, the family alleges the minor could have been attacked and killed.
