Soldier Valery Permyakov, who is accused of killing a family of seven people in Gyumri, will undergo a psychological and psychiatric examination.
"In the near future, a psychological and psychiatric examination, which is prescribed by law for such crimes, will be carried out," Interfax cited the source.
A Russian lawyer living in Armenia is engaged in Permjakov's defense.
"For obvious reasons his identity has not been disclosed yet. He is fulfilling his duties," the source said.
