/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The murder of three Armenians is being investigated in the
town of Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Ural (Russia). The investigators do not rule out
that the crime was committed on account of national hostility. The Ural
policemen are working in the emergency regime. Presently the investigating
experiment is under way. Five teenagers show and tell how they beat to death
three Armenians with boards. They killed two at a café and then one in the
town center. After committing the murder the teenagers came back to the
café, took a loudspeaker and announced they had made a cleansing. Head of
the department of home affairs of the Verkhnyaya Pyshma Nikolay Buyanov
said, `They think they must clean the territory. They killed two people and
then took a taxi and went to town center. On they way they came across one
more Armenian and killed him too.' The skinheads were arrested within three
days. At first they were suspected of a murder with a purpose of robbery as
they took the cell phones and purses. However presently other motives
including national hostility are being considered. To note, about 500
Armenian families live in Verkhnyaya Pyshma. After the murder of their
compatriots they met with the representatives of the police, who promised to
carry out a transparent and fair investigation. The Armenian Ambassador to
Russia also watches the developments.
