Agents of the Moscow Criminal Investigations Department detained
three persons suspected of murdering two Armenian citizens.

Russian media report that the arrested are citizens of Moscow and
Voronezh Districts. They are charged with kidnapping Armen Nalbandyan,
29, and Gurgen Khachatryan, 26, who were working as constructors in
Istratovo District. The criminals took the kidnapped Armenian to the
woods and smothered them. " Investigators think that the competition
between brigadiers served as a motive for the crime," said the
representative of the General Board of the Ministry of Interior
Affairs. An accusation against the detainees has been brought in
compliance with Article 105 of the Russian Criminal Code (murder of
two or more people).
