12:03 * 13.01.15
The Russian serviceman held as a main suspect in yesterday's brutal
murder in Gyumri may be tried in Armenia.
Speaking to Tert.am, an advisor at the General Prosecutor's Office,
Christine Melkonyan, said that Russian and Armenian law enforcers
are now considering the possibility of conducting the prosecution in
the country.
The serviceman, Valery Permyakov, is in Gyumri's 102nd military base
after being caught on the border, said Sona Truzyan, a spokesperson.
"Representatives of the Russian Investigative Committee are in
Armenia. They have carried out initial investigative operations with
the suspect's involvement; he was interrogated, and joint investigative
procedures followed. A deputy head of the investigative committee,
Vahagn Harutyunyan, was present during the interrogation.
The suspect gave a testimony on the incident that followed his
desertion of post," she told our correspondent.
The deadly incident left six family members killed; a six month-old
infant, who was the only survivor, is now reported to be in hospital
in a critical condition.
Permyakpov, who is a Russian citizen, faces a criminal proceeding
over desertion and murder in accordance with the Russian legislation.
