Last Sunday an unknown fired upon a man, who was going out of a restaurant in the center of Moscow. The man was taken to hospital with numerous wounds and died some time later. "We established the man's identity. It was Armen Hovsepyan, native of Armenia. The motives are being clarified at present," said a representative of the prosecutor's office. The assassin, who threw the gun away near the crime site, managed to escape. A criminal case was initiated, reported Interfax with a reference to the press service of the Moscow prosecutor's office. According to some informal data, the killing could be caused by Hovsepyan's business activities.
