Funeral of Armen Sahakyan killed in Samara to be held January 19

The funeral of 19-year-old student of Samara State University Armen Sahakyan, who was killed in Samara on January 15, will be held on January 19.

Andranik Sahakyan, the father of the killed student, said that, in his opinion, his son was killed by skinheads, as January 15 marked 40 days from the murder of fan Yegor Sviridov.

According to Sahakyan, valuables were not taken from his son, though he had a golden chain and bracelet, as well as watch, cellular phone and money that day. Currently, the investigation authorities study several versions of the incident, while ethnic killing is not excluded.
