In Yerevan, the district court is currently hearing the case of 64-year-old Stepan Shvali, who has been accused of poisoning the Long Island children’s shelter, resulting in the deaths of four people and the hospitalization of one.

According to preliminary investigation, Shvali has allegedly been involved in an incident where he served poisoned food to the shelter residents. The incident occurred after the previous night when he consumed a large quantity of alcoholic beverages.

Shvali denies any wrongdoing and claims that he operated machinery while under the influence of alcohol. He has been detained, but until the court hearing, he may be released upon payment of one million dollars bail.

The victims include a 50-year-old supervisor and a 30-year-old female resident of the shelter. According to colleagues, they were in a romantic relationship.
