Native of Armenia assassinated in Moscow
In the evening on October 1, in the southwest of Moscow, unidentified persons accomplish murder of a citizen of Armenia, as reported by law enforcement bodies of the Russian capital.
It is already the second crime committed this week against Caucasians in Moscow. Earlier, as a result of mass fight in the south of the Russian capital at night of September 29 four citizens of Armenia and a native of Northern Caucasus were wounded. People from antifascist circles of the Russian capital do not exclude that this could be done by neo-Nazis.
On October 1, at about 11:00 p.m. Moscow time, in the yard of No. 15 in the Vvedenskogo Street in Moscow, the body of a young man, a native of Armenia, was found. "Forensic experts have established that his death was a result of numerous knife wounds," said a source in law enforcement bodies of Moscow.
The source has noted that, according to eyewitnesses, the victim was attacked by a group of youngsters.
The "Interfax" adds by quoting the source: "The casualty stayed illegally in the territory of Moscow; in Armenia he was searched for evasion from regular military service."
The "Gazeta.Ru" writes that law enforcers do not exclude that the victim lived in Moscow at his relatives, hiding from military service in Armenia.
