Russian soldier who killed a family of six in the Armenian town of
Gyumri will be punished heavily, Russian Investigative Committee
Spokesman Vladimir Markin said on Monday.
Earlier in the day, the Committee's chairman, Alexander Bastrykin,
arrived in Yerevan to coordinate the investigation of this crime. "The
Russian president has commissioned Alexander Bastrykin to work in
close cooperation with Armenian law enforcement agencies to ensure
objective and comprehensive investigation of this crime," Markin said.
On January 12, a soldier of the Russian military base in Armenia
identified as Private Valery Permyakov without permission had deserted
his post with arms and cartridges. Later on, he broke into a private
house in Gyumri and shot dead a family of six, including a two-year
child, and wounded a six-month baby who died in hospital on January
19. He left his uniform and footwear with badges and his submachine
gun and munitions and fled the scene. He was arrested on the same
day by Russian border guards while trying to cross Armenia's border
into Turkey.
