Two Muscovites will stand trial for racially motivated attacks and
murders, the Moscow inter-regional transport investigative department
of the Russian Investigation Committee said on Tuesday.
“Underage Georgy Golovanov and his acquaintance Yevgeny Marenchuk
perpetrated a number of cruel crimes against citizens of Central Asian
and South Caucasian states in April-May 2010,” the department said.
The young men armed with knives attacked a citizen of Armenia in the
Maryina Roshcha neighborhood on April 27, 2010. Golovanov stabbed
the Armenian; they seized two cell phones from the victim and ran away.
“The men attacked citizens of Tajikistan and Mongolia near the Moscow
Stankolit railroad platform on May 12. The Tajik citizen was stabbed
in the stomach and the Mongolian citizen was stabbed in the chest,”
he said.
The attackers injured a citizen of Uzbekistan in approximately the
same area on May 5. He died of injuries. A man from Kyrgyzstan was
stabbed on Streletskaya Street on May 8.
“The suspects made a full confession with the exception of killing
the Armenian citizen and shifted the blame on each other,” the
department said.
The investigation is over, and the Moscow City Court will soon hear
the case merits.
