A 23-year-old Yarmouth woman is due to appear at court today in
connection with the death of a man whose body was found burning in a
field near Peterborough almost exactly two years ago.
Arpine Karapetian has been charged with attempting to pervert the
course of justice in relation to the death of Armenian Hovannes
Amirian and will appear at Norwich Magistrates Court.
On Tuesday Nishan Bakunts, 27, also of Yarmouth, appeared at court
accused of murdering Mr Amirian, 42, in King’s Lynn on December 20
2002.
He was remanded in custody and is due at Norwich Crown Court for a
plea and directions hearing in February.
As reported in the EDP, Mr Amirian’s burning body was discovered by a
cyclist. He had been shot and stabbed before being set on fire.
Officers spent months trying to identify Mr Amirian’s body.
He was finally identified after Cambridgeshire police and Interpol in
Belgium traced his widow and four-year-old son.
