Russian mass spammer not killed due to net activity

The murder of Russia’s biggest spammer Vardan Kushnir was not connected with his Internet activity, but with a straightforward robbery, Moscow investigators reported.

Kushnir, 35, was found dead in his Moscow apartment on Sunday. He died after suffering repeated blows to the head. Investigators, quoted by the Kommersant newspaper, said this was not a contract murder or revenge for spamming. “Things are simpler. He became a victim of clonidine. For now, this is the only theory.”

So it turned out to be a huge coincidence. Check out the posting at Mos News.
