New details of murder of Armenian Vahan Abramyants in Moscow metro Pushkinskaya station past weekend are known now. Several Russian newspapers say the suspect, Denis Kulagin, 17, has not committed the crime, reports Newsru.com. In the words of schoolboy’s mother, she made him confess in the murder herself owing to threats of inspectors. Besides, the instrument of the crime is not found – the knife, while observation cameras did not shoot anything and the inspectors have only the confession of the minor, who was illegally interrogated for several hours without his mother’s or a lawyer’s presence.
According to D. Kulagin’s mother – Olga Kulagina, she got to know from Denis that he with neighbors Ilya and Kostya went to Marino to see the fight of fans of Spartak and Lokomotiv football teams. “The boys were to meet Lokomotiv fans Lazar and Vahan at “Pushka”. Denis and Ilya picked up Zhanna. They met with Lazar and Vahan at half past four. 12 young people gathered. Two of them – Lazar and Vahan – went up to smoke in the street. At 4:45 p.m. they ran down to Ilya, Kostya and Denis. They just said, “Someone is following us or spying,” and guys in leather coats appeared and started brutally beating them. Denis took Zhanna to a train up to Barrikadnaya station. Then they came back to Pushkinskaya and told policemen about those attacking. This is how he was taken to the police department,” Olga Kulagina said.
“When I arrived we were suggested a choice: either Denis will serve a sentence of 15 years for murder on national ground or for murder owing to personal dislike. For a murder in “a love triangle” the investigator promised “conditional” or a short imprisonment. He asked to write a confession. I insisted that Denis sign the conflict was due to the girl,” Kulagina said. She also noted her son is not like the suspect sought for.
To note, after a meeting with a professional lawyer Denis Kulagin refused from his confession.
