The Turkish court sentenced Istanbul Armenian Murat Nazaryan to life imprisonment for the murder of compatriot Maritsa Küçük, 85, four years ago.

At the last court hearing on this murder case, the attorney of the defendant presented numerous evidences that his client was not alone at the scene of the crime and that there are main perpetrators, according to Milliyet daily newspaper of Turkey.

And Nazaryan, for his part, stressed that he has not argued with anyone to this day, let alone kill someone.

The court, however, found Murat Nazaryan guilty, and sentenced him to life in prison.

From December 2012 to January 2013, elderly Armenian women were assaulted—and Küçük was killed—in the densely Armenian-populated Samatya district of Istanbul.

Istanbul Armenian Murat Nazaryan was arrested on suspicion of committing these assaults.

Those who know Nazaryan, however, said he is a very calm person, and it is hard to believe that he was accused of such a thing.

In addition, even though traces of other people’s blood were found at the scene of the crime, the court disregarded this fact.
