    Suspected killer of Armenian released on recognizance


    City prosecutors on Friday released on recognizance an 11th-form
    schoolboy, who was detained over the murder of Armenian national
    Vagan Abramyants at the Pushkinskaya subway station.

    ``Although the schoolboy has been released on recognizance,
    investigators still consider him a suspect,'' lawyer Simon Tsaturyan
    told Itar-Tass...

    In his opinion, it was a hate-based murder.

    ``The investigators now have to ascertain the degree of his
    involvement in the murder of Vagan Abramyants, and whether he knew
    the persons who attacked him,'' Tsaturyan said.

    On April 22, a group of 12 young men, who knew each other, gathered
    at the Pushkinskaya subway station. They were waiting for a friend.
    At that time, six or seven youngsters got off the train headed for
    Vykhino, and a fistfight broke out

    Vagan Abramyants, a student of the Moscow University of Management,
    was stabbed in the chest and died on the spot.
