Seryozha Avetisyan, the six month old child who miraculously survived a deadly attack yesterday in Gyumri that left six other family members dead, has been transferred to a Yerevan hospital for further medical treatment.

The child, sustained multiple knife wounds, is   in stable but serious condition according to Yerevan's St. Asdvatzatzin Medical Center Director Ashot Gyureghyan.

Gyureghyan says that the child’s condition was made worse due to the late arrival of medical help to the family home in Gyumri yesterday morning after the attack was reported at around 6:20am. The medical director says it took almost six hours for the child to receive initial care.

Valery Permyakov, a soldier from the 102nd Russian military base in Gyumri, has been detained as the prime suspect.

Gyureghyan told Hetq that the child’s wounds appear to have been inflicted by a sharp cutting object and not a gun.

The six family members are said to have died from gunshot wounds.
