Armenian man killed in Moscow

On October 22nd in Moscow, near Metro station �Chertanovskaya�, a group of youths killed 23 year-old Ovanes Airumyan, an ethnic Armenian. Those who took part in the assault left the scene of the crime. The police and ambulance service were called by passers-by, who had heard cries for help. However, the victim died before the ambulance arrived. The victim had 17 knife wounds on his body. Doctors from a nearby commercial clinic refused to help the dying man, saying that it �wasn�t in their profile�.

On the same day, in Southwestern Moscow, a group of 14-15 year-old committed a number of assaults on passers-by of a �non-Slavic� appearance. One person died as a result of one of the assaults.

The investigation into the death of O.Airumyan has been put together with rest of the assaults and given over to the city prosecutor�s office. All those arrested are being checked.
