    Moscow, June 1 (IANS/RIA Novosti) A court in Armenian capital Yerevan
    has sentenced an Armenian citizen to life in prison for killing two
    Russian soldiers in 2010.

    On Oct 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, Mikhail Bashchkov from Yerevan, was found guilty and
    sentenced to life in prison, the prosecutor general's office said.

    In 2010, Bashchkov borrowed $600 from Zakharyan, who was friends with
    him. Bashchkov later returned part of the sum, but still owed $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 Oct 23, he sneaked into
    the unit and stabbed Zakharyan, and also another soldier, Yenokyan,
    who came to help Zakharyan.
