    PROSECUTORS SUSPEND PROBE INTO MURDER OF ARMENIAN STUDENT

    RIA novosti, Russia

    MOSCOW, August 22 (RIA Novosti) - Prosecutors have suspended an
    investigation into the killing of an Armenian teenager in the Moscow
    subway in April, a lawyer said Monday.

    Vagan Abramyants, a 17-year-old student at the Moscow Academy of
    Management, was attacked and stabbed to death on the platform of
    Pushkinskaya metro station, in the city center, at about 5 p.m. April
    22.

    "The investigation has been suspended for lack of evidence against
    possible suspects," lawyer Simon Tsaturyan said, adding he was
    surprised that investigators could not identify any perpetrators when
    there were so many witnesses to the crime.

    In April, police detained a 16-year-old high school student in
    connection with the killing, but he was later released.

    Tsaturyan said he has appealed to Russia's Prosecutor General and the
    Moscow City Prosecutor to take personal charge of the investigation.
