Strange mercy

Article Abstract:

The murder case of Raffi Kodikian is presented. The story of his friendship with David Coughlin, their trip leading to Coughlin's death and the ensuing murder inquiry are described. The mysterious nature of the murder is highlighted, with the investigators still looking for a motive for the murder, other than it being a mercy killing by mutual agreement to which Kodikian admits.
