The case of the sisters Khachaturian: the defense of the murdered man challenged the judge and the prosecutor

There was a scandal in the Butyrka court

At a meeting on the case of violence against the three sisters who killed their father Mikhail Khachaturian, there was a scandal in the Butyrsky court. The defense side asked for a challenge to the judge and the prosecutor.

Recall that the Khachaturian sisters, one of whom was a minor at the time of the murder, brutally dealt with their father: they attacked a man when he was sleeping, and killed him with a gas canister, a hammer and a hunting knife. After that, the girls spoke about sexual abuse by their father during his lifetime, and these materials were separated into a separate proceeding.

According to the results of the pre-investigation check, a criminal case against the late Mikhail Khachaturyan was initiated only after a complaint from his sister – an unlawful decision was previously issued to refuse to initiate a criminal case, and this is not a rehabilitating ground.

According to the decree, the father killed by his daughters is currently officially charged under the articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Violent acts of a sexual nature”, “Compulsion to act of a sexual nature”, “Torture” and “Illegal production and circulation of pornographic materials or objects”.

The Prosecutor General’s Office twice returned the controversial materials for pre-investigation, but recently, on the third time, the indictment was nevertheless approved.

Several hearings have already taken place, at which, at the request of the defense, it was decided that the case would be considered collectively by three professional judges instead of one.

At the last meeting on July 21, the court considered the protocols from the place of the murder of Mikhail Khachaturian.
