Arm en Armenian leader Sagouri slain in London suburb
Sagatel Sagouri, president of the Armenian revolutionary society in London, was murdered in Nunhead on Monday night. The killing, viewed as politically motivated, follows earlier assassinations of officials allied with the same cause on the continent. Sagouri, a mining engineer turned wealth holder from the Caucasus, supported Armenian charity but proponents of violence accuse his group of diverting funds. Sagouni reportedly moved to England from New York in 1902.
