A court in Yerevan sentenced an Armenian citizen to life imprisonment
after it found him guilty of killing two Russian soldiers in 2010,
the Prosecutor General's Office said on Thursday.
On October 23, 2010 two bodies with numerous knife stabs were
discovered on the territory of a Russian military unit. They were
later identified as soldiers, Armen Zakharyan and Artur Yenokyan.
"The suspect in the trial, Mikhail Bashchkov from Yerevan, was found
guilty and sentenced to life in prison," the Armenian Prosecutor
General's Office said in a statement.
The investigation revealed that in 2010 Bashchkov borrowed some $600
from late Zakharyan, with whom they were friends. Bashchkov later
returned part of the sum, but still owed some $370. They both had a
quarrel over the money.
Bashchkov figured out when Zakharyan will be on duty at the military
unit next time and decided to kill him. On October 23, he sneaked on
the territory of the unit and stabbed Zakharyan. He also stabbed to
death another soldier, Yenokyan, who came to help Zakharyan.
