Russian serviceman Valery Permyakov, who is charged with the murder
of the Avetisyan family in Gyumri city of Armenia, was found sane,
Interfax reports citing a source familiar with the situation.
“The psychiatric examination revealed that the serviceman is sane. He
was absolutely aware of his actions at the moment of the murder,”
the source said.
The experts have detected some mental disorders in him, but overall,
he was found sane, the source added.
Meanwhile, Kommersant has learned that the court extended Permyakov’s
arrest on April 8. The Investigation Committee toughened the charges
against him. On two counts alone, he may face life imprisonment.
Six members of one family, including a two-year-old child, were shot
dead in their house in Gyumri on January 12. A six-month-old baby
was hospitalized with stab wounds. He died in hospital on January 19.
Valery Permyakov, a serviceman of the 102nd Russian military base
stationed in Gyumri, the main suspect in the murder, was detained by
Russian border guards while attempting to cross the Armenian-Turkish
border near Yerazgavors village in Armenia’s Shirak province.
Permyakov is held in custody at the Russian military base. He was
questioned and confessed to the crime. Permyakov is charged under
Article 105.2 and 338.2 of the Russian Criminal Code (murder and
desertion). Also, Armenian Investigative Committee brought a charge
against Permyakov under Article 104 part 2 point 1 (murder of two or
more persons) of the Armenian Criminal Code.
