According to Newser, the man's murder has refocused attention on domestic violence and sparked a culture-war debate.
Khachaturyan allegedly beat, humiliated, threatened, and sexually abused his three daughters.
When he pepper-sprayed each of them in the face, the girls sprayed him back, beat him with a hammer, and stabbed him to death.
But not all Russians side with the girls, despite corroboration of domestic abuse from Khachaturyan's estranged wife.
Prosecutors charged all three with premeditated murder.
Likewise, the powerful Russian Orthodox Church are opposing the idea of beefing up Russia's limited domestic-violence laws.

- Description
- A New Hampshire State Police fingerprint examiner has finally identified the remains of a man found more than fifty years ago.
The remains were buried in 1969 and exhumed in 2012. Attempts to identify the man by DNA and fingerprints were unsuccessful.
While the New Hampshire State Police Forensic Laboratory had obtained a single usable fingerprint, there was no match in various databases.
But criminalist Timothy Jackson eventually realized that was possible to plot the individual characteristics, or the minutiae, himself.
Turns out, the print belonged to Winston Richard Morris.
Morris was shot at least six times in the head about three months after his May 1969 release from Vermont State Prison.
Jackson modestly credits his discovery with new technology and "old school" police work.

- San Francisco Bay Area doctor Edward Abratowski believes that he and his medical colleagues all underestimated the coronavirus.
Business Insider reports Abratowski noted that his hospital is seeing a precipitous drop in patients.
Besides a moratorium on elective surgeries, people are staying away, fearing that a hospital is "not the best place to be" right now.
On a very busy night, his ward may see sixteen patients. Now, Abratowski says the average is around six.
Abratowski believes the Trump administration botched its coronavirus response and "should have shut down the entire country right away."
He believes social distancing is "far and away the most important protection" from the coronavirus.
Abratowski praised California Gov. Gavin Newsom for prioritizing social distancing early on in the outbreak.

According to church officials and nonprofit groups, Easter Sunday is one of the biggest donation days of the year for U.S. churches, due to the big crowds.
But this year, closures may force struggling churches to make some tough financial decisions.
John Quaglione, a spokesman for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn said “There will be some serious conversations and some strong conversations with the parishes and the economic folks to help get us through this.”
