Son tried to avenge father's death - court shooting probe results
MOSCOW
City police investigating the shooting near a Moscow magistrate's
court on Wednesday said a man tried to take revenge, by firing on his
offender who allegedly had caused the death of his father.
The incident occurred in Domodedovskaya Street at 12:06, Moscow time,
a city prosecutor told Itar-Tass.
Igor Mirabyan, 39, an ethnic Armenian, sprayed automatic fire on
Denis Chikin, 25, whose case was review by the court earlier in the
day. Chikin was wounded in the stomach. His lawyer Valentina Baranova
was wounded in the hand.
Chikin was hospitalized. Police are now questioning the gunman who
reportedly had fired a home-made submachine-gun.
According to investigators, Chikin, in a state of intoxication on
November 22, 2004, beat up Mirabyan's father in a row in a stairwell
of the apartment house in Kashirskoye Shosse Street.
An eyewitness of the incident said in a testimony that Mirabyan
attempted to enter Chikin's apartment and that Chikin stepped into
his way to block it.
Mirabyan Sr died 37 days after the fight. An autopsy showed that the
chest injury inflicted by Chikin was not lethal and could not be
blamed for Mirabyan's demise.
On Wednesday, the court ordered an additional forensic examination to
determine the exact cause of death.
Mirabyan Jr did not attend the hearing, apparently waiting for the
defendant in the street by the court building. He opened fire as
Chikin and his lawyer went out.
Prosecutors opened a criminal case over the shooting.
