YEREVAN, Armenia -- The head of Russia's main investigative agency
says a Russian soldier suspected of killing a family in Armenia will
stand trial in that country.
The soldier, who served with a Russian military base in Gyumri, is
suspected of shooting six family members dead in the Armenian city
last week and stabbing a six-month-old baby to death. He was captured
and is held at the Russian base.
Alexander Bastrykin, chief of Russia's Investigative Committee told
Armenian President Serge Sarkisian Tuesday that an open trial in
Armenia reflects a shared "desire for justice." He didn't specify if
the soldier would be tried by Armenian authorities or in a Russian
military tribunal.
Bastrykin's visit followed rallies by thousands in Gyumri demanding
that the soldier be handed over to Armenian authorities.
