YEREVAN. – According to Armlur, Russian soldier Valery Permyakov, who is the accused in the recent murder of the Avetisyan family in Armenia’s Gyumri city, was taken to the scene of the crime, the Avetisyan family home, for several days, Zhoghovurd daily reported.

“Usually, he is taken to the scene of the incident at night. Of course, the objective of taking him at night is not solely the security considerations, but the fact that the incident took place in late hours, so it is necessary to find out the circumstances of Permyakov entering the house and taking the next steps. 

“According to our information, the last time, however, the accused was taken [to the scene of the crime] in the afternoon. [But] this time he had felt ill, and he had fainted,” Zhoghovurd wrote.

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; but the baby boy died in hospital on January 19.

Valery Permyakov, a serviceman of the 102nd Russian Military Base in the city, 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 charge.
