schema:articleBody	Russian investigators are now probing whether three sisters who killed their father had been in fact beaten and sexually abused by him for years, a lawyer for one of them said Tuesday. Lawyer Alexei Parshin voiced hope that the investigation would cement an earlier decision by prosecutors to drop the case and prevent the two older sisters from serving 20 years in prison. Activists have argued that the teenagers were forced to kill their father to save their own lives, pointing to the lack of legal protection for victims of domestic abuse in Russia. Krestina, Angelina and Maria Khachaturyan stabbed their father Mikhail to death in July 2018 at their home in Moscow. They said he had subjected them to rape and abuse and prevented them from attending school. In January 2020, prosecutors ordered the case dropped, saying investigators had not taken the father's "systematic" abuse into account despite finding evidence of bodily harm. But investigators refused to drop the case, keeping it in limbo. Parshin told AFP Tuesday that the Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, had informed him that they had launched a probe on March 10 into whether the father had indeed abused the sisters. "We hope that after this is over the prosecution against them will be dropped, that it will be proven that they were acting in self-defense," said Parshin, who represents Angelina. But Olga Khalikova, the lawyer for the late Mikhail's relatives who initiated the probe, said the point of the investigation is to prove that he in fact did not abuse his daughters and to get the case sent back to court so that the children are punished. "If it is proved that there was no sexual abuse, then their motive for the killing falls away and their defence will crumble like a house of cards," she told AFP. "Investigators will then bring the case back to the prosecution." At the time of the killing, the sisters were 19, 18 and 17. The two older sisters, Krestina and Angelina, face up to 20 years in prison. The youngest sister Maria was found to be unaware of her actions and her case is being considered separately behind closed doors. The move by prosecutors to drop the case last year was seen as a major victory for Russia's civil society. emg/acl/lc
