Russia's Interfax news agency reports that notorious spammer Vardan Kushnir was found brutally murdered. His body was discovered in his Moscow apartment on Sunday, showing evidence of repeated blows to the head.

Mr. Kushnir headed English learning centers known for their persistent aggressive spamming. Millions of messages sent by the firms went out each day. Spamming is not presently illegal under Russian law.

Some angry users have retaliated against his firms by plaguing them with numerous phone calls, bombarding it with emails, or even advertising the firms' phone numbers in bogus ads for escort services or bargain real estate offers.

Mwahaha! Russia and laws

You see, in these parts of the world, the written law and the law that is actually applied are two very different concepts.
You should have written 'should apply some laws'

Sure, it's annoying, but does it constitute murder?
