At a session held on August 2, Tbilisi City Court Judge Tamar Mchedlishvili ordered that 31-year-old Demetri Revazashvili be remanded in custody as a preventive measure. Revazashvili does not admit guilt.
Another person accused in the same case, Ioseb Barjadze, is currently wanted. The prosecutor's office initially charged him with failing to report the crime, but later upgraded the charge to intentional serious injury to health. New evidence obtained during the investigation established that Demetri Revazashvili and Ioseb Barjadze, "acting in concert, inflicted severe, life-threatening injuries to the head and body" of the victim. If found guilty, they face 9 to 13 years in prison.
