SUSPECT OF MURDER OF VIGEN ABRAHAMYANTS ARRESTED

A cadet of a police school of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is suspected of murdering an Armenian in the metro of the Russian capital. Nikita Sinkov, arrested Tuesday on suspicion of murder of Armenian student Vigen Abrahamyants in the metro of the Russian capital, is a cadet of the Moscow College of Militia and is a son of a high-rank police officer, the Commersant writes. As reported by the edition, referring to the investigation, Sinkov, known in nationalist circles as Zmey (Dragon), has already confessed the crime, though he stated that Abrahamyants had attacked him first and it was self-defense. Investigation allowed finding the suspect of the murder, committed in Pushkinskaya metro on April 22. Moscow students, arrested for committing this explosion – Oleg Kostarev, Ilya Tikhomirov, Valery Zhukovtsov and their instigator Nikolay Korolev – were proponents of Russian All-National Union nationalist organization. Checking the ties of the suspects with that organization, the investigators revealed a few other crimes, committed on the basis of nationalist hatred. The investigation found out that Sinkov killed Abrahamyants during a planned attack. In an interview to the edition lawyer of Abrahamyants family Simon Tsaturyan expressed confidence that “four months after V. Abrahamyants’ death the police managed to catch the true murderer and everyone got to know it is not a conflict over a girl, but a deliberate fascist violence.” We remind that according to the preliminary version of the investigators, the cause of the murder was a quarrel for a girl. On April 22 schoolboy Denis Kulagin was detained. He was released in 4 days without any charges. Moscow State University of Management student Vigen Abrahamyants, 17, was killed April 22, 2006. The young man got fatal stab-wounds in his chest. In the middle of August the case on Abrahamyants’ murder was stopped due to impossibility of finding the criminals, reports Lenta.ru.
