It should be reminded that according to the advocate of the offended party Simon Tsaturyan, the subway prosecutor’s office had initially provided him with a document where it was said that the crime was committed “because of interracial and international discord in preliminary agreement of a group of people”. However, literally on the second day, investigating bodies reviewed this version and now they are still insisting on the version of everyday conflict. It is said that the conflict was caused by the fact that the victim had called the suspect’s 15-year-old girlfriend Janna Nefedova a “prostitute ready to give in to anyone for 100 rubles”. The suspect himself testified this. However after meeting his advocate, Denis Kulagin took his testimony back. His mother says that evidences were given under the pressure of investigators.
According to the version of Denis’s mother, the real development of events was the following: young people were waiting for their friends on the platform. Vigen and his friend went to smoke and returning, cried that they were chased. At that moment, skinheads pounced on Vigen and began beating him. Denis and Janna ran away on the train, but shortly after they returned and told everything to the police. These facts do not match with the official version of the Prosecutor’s Office where they say that the suspect was found thanks to the video recording. By the way, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, the camera had recorded everything expect the very moment of murder. Advocate Tsaturyan does not believe in this and supposes that they are hiding the episode on the recording, which really confirms the national motive of the crime. Generally, there are many contradictious and suspicious circumstances in the case. Initially, witnesses testified that Vigen was attacked by skinheads, stepping out of the wagon and that the murderer was a tall, bald man dressed in a black leather jacket. It is noteworthy that the same facts were described not only by Denis’s friends, but also eyewitnesses of the incident. Meanwhile, Denis does not look like the person on the photo robot.
This contradiction is also noticed by representatives of investigating organs. In an interview to “Interfax” news agency, a prosecutor’s office employee, who asked not to publish his name, said: “It is not clear why did all the 20 witnesses unanimously claim that Abrahamyants had become a victim of skinheads, but 12 hours later all of them changed their testimonies and again returned to the version of skinheads”.
It is settled that the murderer hit the victim between ribs with a long double-edged blade. This is a professional’s style. It is hard to believe that a teenager could master the art of killing so professionally. By the way, the knife, which killed the victim, has not been found. There is still another circumstance, which does not match with the official version of the incident. It is known that Vigen’s and Denis’s friends were also wounded. Investigation materials confirm that there was another victim who had cuts on his face. Could Denis do that too? What for? Did he also call his girlfriend a prostitute? Meanwhile mother of Denis Kulagin’s girlfriend asserts that attackers also beat her daughter and traumatologists fixed the wounds. So who was the person who beat Janna?… Nefedova is one of the main witnesses. According to her mother Janna was kissing with her friend when skinheads pounced on Vigen. As for the fact that the victim had called her a prostitute, Janna herself told her mother: “He did not offend me. He did not say anything. He kept silence and only smiled…”
On Thursday Vigen Abrahamyants’ mother sent a letter to the President of Russia Vladimir Putin. In the letter it is said: “When “foreign” children are killed, it is done not only against us, but also against the Russian nation. No one can return my son, but our actions against Fascism can save others’ lives. The tragedy of our family is not a single case. Such kinds of crimes are committed more and more often”. There is nothing to add.
