Russian soldier arrested on suspicion of killing Gyumri woman

The court has ruled to place a serviceman of the 102nd Russian military base in Gyumri, suspected of killing a local woman, into custody.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that the 57-year-old Djulietta Gukasyan was beaten up on December 3 and died in hospital. Local residents demanded to tighten control over Russian soldiers.

In 1999-2015, at least 11 Gyumri residents perished in incidents involving Russian militaries. The greatest resonance was caused by the massacre of the Avetisyan family on January 12, 2015. Valery Permyakov, a former serviceman of the above military base, was found guilty of killing seven members and sentenced to life imprisonment.
