3 arrested in deadly Woodland Hills home invasion

LOS ANGELES - Three suspects were arrested following a deadly home invasion in Woodland Hills over the weekend, officials said. 

What we know:

Los Angeles Police Department officers from the Topanga Division were called to a home regarding a death investigation in the 22200 block of De La Osa Street, off Topanga Canyon Boulevard, just before 1 a.m. Saturday, April 26. 

Arriving first responders found 47-year-old Aleksandre Modebadze suffering from a head injury. He was declared dead at the scene by Los Angeles City Fire paramedics. 

In their investigation, homicide detectives determined three suspects had entered the home. After gaining entry, Modebadze was held captive and assaulted. 

Hours later, the suspects were located and taken into custody with the help of the FBI.

The first suspect was taken into custody near Sepulveda and Burbank boulevards in Van Nuys, while the other two suspects were arrested in Glendale. 

The suspects have been identified as 38-year-old Paata Kochyashvili, 46-year-old Zaza Otarashvili, and 52-year-old Besiki Khutsishvili.

They each face a murder charge and a $2 million bail. 

What they're saying:

"[There's a] school right across the street, and kids playing… it's a good neighborhood," Maceo Allen said. "I just pray for the victim’s family to seek justice for what happened. It’s really sad."

"He [Modebadze] seemed like a very nice guy, always out with his dog. I have two dogs, very friendly. I think it's very sad what happened to him," said neighbor Toni Witte.

"It's shocking. I'm scared to go to sleep at night, because what if it's my house?" neighbor Leeann said.
