Investigators get access to phones calls of Permyakov and Avetisyan family

The Investigating Committee (IC) of Armenia has received printouts from mobile operators of the calls made from and to telephones of Valery Permyakov and members of the Avetisyan family prior to the mass murder.

The "Caucasian Knot" wrote earlier that the IC of Armenia was checking the assumption about the earlier relationships of Valery Permyakov and the Avetisyan family. The IC has also granted the petition of Erem Sarkisyan, the advocate for the successors of the Avetisyan family, lodged on February 10, who asked to clear out whether the Russian soldier could commit the murder alone, whether he really got into the house of the Armenian family by chance, and whether the crime had been premeditated and intended to destabilize the situation in the republic.

On January 12, in Gyumri, six members of the Avetisyan family were assassinated. The only survivor of the attack – the six-month-old Sergey Avetisyan – was hospitalized in critical condition and on January 19, he died. A Russian regular soldier Valery Permyakov was arrested as a suspect of committing the massacre. He is kept under reinforced guard in the territory of the 102^nd Russian military base. According to the Investigating Committee (IC) of Armenia, Permyakov officially admitted the charges against him.

On February 15, it became known that the IC of Armenia had received a list of the incoming and outgoing calls from the telephone of Valery Permyakov made prior to the execution of the family in Gyumri, as well as of the incoming and outgoing calls from the telephones of the members of the Avetisyan family.

Also, according to the IC of Armenia, the data from satellite antennas accumulated for at least six weeks before Permyakov's arrest are being decoded and studied.
