Armyansky Pereulok magazine chief editor's murder investigated
MOSCOW
The investigation of the murder of the editor-in-chief of the
Armyansky Pereulok magazine Pailak Peloyan has been undertaken by the
permanently acting investigative brigade of the Southwestern district
of the Russian capital, sources in the Moscow Prosecutor's Office told
Itar-Tass on Tuesday.
Criminal proceedings have been instituted in connection with the
murder of the journalist.
The reporter's body was found near an overpass at the 43rd kilometre
of the Moscow ring road last Saturday.
"Forensic experts concluded that the journalist died of a
craniocerebral injury and knife wound," the sources said.
"The investigators are currently considering several versions of the
crime, including a robbery and the version related to the professional
activities of Armyansky Pereulok's editor-in-chief," the Prosecutor's
Office official said.
However, the Armenian Embassy in Moscow told Itar-Tass the Armyansky
Pereulok magazine had been published before 2001.
Founded by poet and prose writer Levon Oganesyan, the magazine was
covering the life of the Armenian community in the Russian capital and
Armenian-Russian relations.
