Gyumri murder: Lawyer says he is taking specific actions (video)
Lawyer Yerem Sargsyan, who represents the interests of legal successors of the slain Avetisyan family, said he is taking specific actions within the framework of the criminal case. Talking to Azdarar news agency, the lawyer said he is considering all possible and impossible hypotheses regarding the case. Six members of the Avetisyan family, including a two-year-old child, were shot dead in their house in Gyumri in the morning of January 12. A six-month-old baby, Seryozha Avetisyan, was hospitalized with stab wounds. He died in hospital a week later. The main suspect of the crime, Valery Permyakov, a serviceman of Russian Military Base N 102 stationed in Gyumri, was detained by Russian border guards late in the same day while attempting to cross the Armenian-Turkish border near Yerazgavors village in Armenia’s Shirak province.
