The Russian serviceman who severely beat an Armenian woman to death in Gyumri will be convicted by Armenian court, NSS director Artur Vanetsyan said today.

The Russian serviceman from 102d Russian military base in Gyumri beat a 57-year old cleaner early in the morning of December 6.

“A murderer has no nationality, he is a criminal and must be convicted,” Vanetsyan said.

Asked whether he will be convicted by the Armenian court, Vanetsyan said that the murder took place in Armenia’s territory, thus he will be convicted by the Armenian court.

The Russian serviceman has been arrested. Aysor.am sources report that he is being kept in the territory of the Russian military base.
