A man suspected of killing a Russian serviceman in Armenia has been considered mentally unstable, Armenia’s Investigative Committee said.
"The preliminary investigation has established that the suspect has mental health problems," TASS cited the investigators as saying.
The statement said the suspect was discharged from the military last month due to "certain mental disorders" and that he had undergone psychiatric evaluation during his service due to several incidents of self-mutilation.
Law enforcement officials earlier said the body of the soldier, identified by prosecutors as 21-year-old Dmitry Yalpayev, was discovered with stab wounds to the neck on April 22 near a shop in Gyumri.
