Two college students have been detained in Moscow in connection with
the non-fatal stabbing of an Armenian businessman and the murder of a
Tajik man, according to an April 18, 2007 report by the Regnum news
agency. Karen Abramyan was beaten and stabbed by two young men on
April 17; the suspects were detained shortly afterwards by a police
patrol that was passing by during the attack. Both suspects have a
history of particpating in soccer-related violence and reportedly
formed a group of like-minded individuals who went out hunting for
non-Russians to attack. On April 16, the body of a Tajik man was
discovered in Moscow with 35 stab wounds. Police are investigating
the two suspects for any connection with that murder.
