The Armenian police on Monday identified them as Armen Zakharian, 27, and Artur Yenokian, 39, both of whom are of Armenian ethnicity and had served under a contract at the Russian military base stationed in Armenia’s northwestern city of Gyumri.
The bodies found at one of the leisure rooms of the Russian Frontier Guard Department had numerous cuts and stabbing injuries on them, the report said.
