Father found dead inside an elevator at an apartment block

Three sisters who suffered years of sexual abuse from their pedophile father stabbed him to death in a frenzied attack in Moscow according to reports.

The father, Mikhail Khachaturyan, was found collapsed inside an elevator at an apartment block in Moscow, Russia, after suffering multiple stab wounds.

His three teenage daughters, Kristina, 19, Angelina, 18, and Maria, 17 – have been detained and charged with stabbing their father to death on Friday, according to Russian law enforcement.

Despite Mikhail Khachaturyan presenting himself as a decent, religious type, people close to him, including neighbors, called him a controlling, “abusive” “mafia boss.”

According to reports, the daughters admitted murder, claiming they “snapped” after suffering years of physical, sexual, and mental abuse at the hands of their father.

“We hated him and we wanted just one thing to happen – either that he disappeared or that we never knew him,” Kristina told the police. “We wanted him just to go away and never come back.”

Other testimonies claimed that Khachaturyan was a “tyrannical” father and husband, who was also a drug addict with deep connections to the criminal underworld.

Khachaturyan’s abusive behavior drove away both his son and wife, the girl’s mother.

“He was always beating them,” one family claimed. “Once he took them to a forest and threatened to kill them. The mother ran away from him, he banned all communication with her.”

According to RT: Another friend told Telegram news channel Mash that Khachaturyan would beat the girls savagely, but would avoid leaving visible bruises, lest anyone find out the extent of his abuse.

However, his punishments were often more creatively sadistic than simple beatings.

Another family friend alleges that Khachaturyan flew into a rage when he found a dog hair on the carpet.

He summoned one of his daughters to the room, made her brush the dog and eat its hair as punishment.

By far the most severe allegations against Khachaturyan are sexual.

According to 112, another local Telegram news channel, the father raped one of his daughters, driving the teenager to attempt suicide.

“After the sexual attack, she took a lot of pills but was rescued by doctors.

The father persuaded the medics that it was not a suicide attempt but just a mistake,” 112 reported.

A family friend corroborated the story, saying she knew at least one girl had been “sexually abused,” while another said that the depraved father was “constantly seducing” his daughters.

The girls’ estranged brother would sometimes visit. After he stopped by a male friend, Khachaturyan became convinced that the girls had sex with the male visitor.

“So you all did it together with him, all three of you?” he raged at the girls. “All of you are whores, and you will die as whores,” he thundered, in a rant recorded on audio tape.

“You will suck all the time if you don’t go away,” he told them. “And if you go away I will find you, you whores…I will f*ck you and you will regret it. You won’t have time to regret.”

“I will beat you…I will kill you. Go away, go away, don’t push me to sin,” he continued.

Accounts of Khachaturyan’s death vary.

One Moscow news agency dramatically describes how the girls planned their father’s murder in advance, with 17-year-old Maria stabbing him 35 times in the neck and body, 18-year-old Angelina raining hammer blows onto his head, and 19-year-old Kristina emptying a can of pepper spray into his face before driving a knife through his heart.

According to another version, Khachaturyan returned home under the influence of drugs, and came at one of the girls with a knife, wounding her.

The other girls overpowered their father, turning the knife on him and stabbing him to death.

While the blow-by-blow details of the fateful night have yet to be established, the girls have pleaded guilty to their father’s death.

“During the interrogation, the girls pleaded guilty and explained that they had developed hostile relations with their father because of moral suffering he had been causing them for a long time,” a spokesperson for the Investigative Committee of Russia said on Monday.

Charged with murder, the girls now face a maximum sentence of between 10 and 15 years imprisonment.

Khachaturyan presented himself in public as a devoted religious believer and allegedly forced his daughters to hang religious icons in the house.

When police searched his Audi Q7 SUV, they found evidence of a different lifestyle.

Two kilograms of heroin, two rifles, three handguns and a signal flare gun were all reportedly recovered from the man’s vehicle.

“I don’t know what happened,” an unnamed relative told REN TV. “I don’t know who to believe.”

The gruesome allegations have already raised a moral debate about the murder.

“When all your life is a long nightmare, full of constant traumas, physical and mental,” said a family friend, “Would you have done any different if you were in their shoes?”
