Representatives from the Russian prosecution may act as a prosecution in the case involving the recent murder in Gyumri, Armenia.

“I think so,” said Russian Chief Military Prosecutor Sergei Fredinsky, in response to a respective query by reporters. He added, however, that nothing is said so far in this regard.

But in Fredinsky’s words, the Military Prosecutor’s Office of Russia stands ready to join this process, reported RIA Novosti news agency of Russia.

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.
