PanARMENIAN.Net - Majority of Russian citizens approve of Armenian
businessman Gegham Sargsyan, who killed three assaulters attacking
his wife and five children in Russian Tula region.
In a survey by Russian RIA Novosti news agency, 48.6% of respondents
said Sargsyan acted lawfully protecting his wife and kids, another
45.6 per cent voted for increased rights for citizens in self-defense.
Only 0.2% think Sargsyan went beyond mere self-defense and should
face a trial for homicide.
According to Tatyana Sergeyeva, head of Tula Investigative committee
department the investigation does not rule out that Sargsyan exceeded
the necessary self-defense actions. A criminal case is filed on murder
of two and more persons, life imprisonment being toughest punishment
for this.
This incident sparked heated debates on the web; Tula governor Vladimir
Gruzdev joined the discussion pledging to protect Sargsyan.
"He is a real MAN, and we will stand up for him," governor's Twitter
said.
According to the Russian law enforcement, Saturday night four
armed assaulters rushed into the businessman's house in the city of
Bogoroditsk in Tula region, attacking Sargsyan, his wife and four
junior kids including one-year-old infant.
The criminals beat his family, but Sargsyan managed to grab a kitchen
knife and stab all the four assaulters; three of them died, the forth
one managed to flee the scene.
Sargsyan is in hospital with injury, his family members were treated
on the spot. The robbers are identified; all of them had previous
criminal records.
Andrei Mishagin, acting head of Tula's Internal Affairs department
earlier said that the attack may be linked with the businessman's
conflict with one of his relatives. According to preliminary data,
all four criminals have come to Tula by a hint from Moscow outskirts.
