Yerem Sargsyan, the attorney of the legal heirs of the murdered seven members of the Avetisyan family in Armenia’s Gyumri city, has submitted a motion to the investigative body.

Accordingly, Sargsyan motioned that the investigative body conduct several investigations and operative intelligence activities to multilaterally examine and reveal some substantial circumstances of the criminal case into the murder, the attorney himself told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

As reported earlier, six members of the Avetisyan family—including a two-year-old girl—were shot dead, and a six-month-old baby was wounded in their house in Gyumri on January 12; and the baby boy died in hospital on January 19.

Valery Permyakov, a serviceman of the 102nd Russian Military Base in Gyumri, stands accused in this crime. Permyakov was apprehended by the Russian border guards near the Armenian-Turkish border on the same night, he was arrested on January 14, and he is held in custody at the Russian military base.

The soldier is charged under Russian law, with “the murder of more than two people” and “desertion with a service weapon.” And on January 21, the Investigative Committee of Armenia also filed a criminal charge against Permyakov, and with “premeditated murder of two or more persons.” The Russian soldier has accepted the charges.
