Two people were killed in a restaurant in Saint Petersburg, Russia, on Sunday. 

One of those who was killed is the restaurant’s Armenian owner Sargis Petikyan and the other, according to preliminary data, is the assassin who was sent to kill Petikyan, Life News informs.         

According to the law enforcement, a man entered the restaurant at 6pm and opened fire at a diner (Petikyan). Subsequently, a fight broke between Petikyan’s relatives and the man and—as a result—Petikyan himself was able to kill the murderer, Interfax News Agency reports.      

The injured killer attempted to escape, but the Petikyan’s relative found him at the courtyard of a nearby building, put him in a car and took him back to the restaurant.  

Leaving him in the vehicle, the relative returned to the restaurant hall to help Petikyan, but he had already died. And, at the same time, the killer died in the car. 

In all probability, this is an ordered assassination, the Police told RIA Novosti News Agency of Russia.
