    ARMENIAN GETS LIFE IN PRISON FOR KILLING 2 RUSSIAN SOLDIERS

    A court in Yerevan sentenced an Armenian citizen to life imprisonment
    after it found him guilty of killing two Russian soldiers in 2010,
    the Prosecutor General's Office said on Thursday.

    On October 23, 2010 two bodies with numerous knife stabs were
    discovered on the territory of a Russian military unit. They were
    later identified as soldiers, Armen Zakharyan and Artur Yenokyan.

    "The suspect in the trial, Mikhail Bashchkov from Yerevan, was found
    guilty and sentenced to life in prison," the Armenian Prosecutor
    General's Office said in a statement.

    The investigation revealed that in 2010 Bashchkov borrowed some $600
    from late Zakharyan, with whom they were friends. Bashchkov later
    returned part of the sum, but still owed some $370. They both had a
    quarrel over the money.

    Bashchkov figured out when Zakharyan will be on duty at the military
    unit next time and decided to kill him. On October 23, he sneaked on
    the territory of the unit and stabbed Zakharyan. He also stabbed to
    death another soldier, Yenokyan, who came to help Zakharyan.
