Attorney Yerem Sargsyan will become, probably on Tuesday, the legal representative of Anahit Avetisyan and Rita Petrosyan, two of the five legal heirs of the Avetisyan family members who were murdered recently in Armenia’s Gyumri city. The lawyer confirmed this information speaking to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

As a result, the father of the bride of the slain Avetisyan family is the sole remaining legal heir without an attorney.

Sargsyan added that they will get familiarized with some particulars of the murder case on Tuesday.

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 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.
