NEWS: Spammer beaten to death: justice or overkill?

When I read this report about how a Russian spammer was killed at home, I wondered whether the authorities had got it wrong to have suppected that the motive was related to his spamming. Nevertheless, in the scheme of things I believe many round the world harbour the desire to end the existence of spammers. This however still shocking that someone would actually act it out. Can spam really cause someone to premeditate a murder? Maybe this murder will make spammers think twice.
