It's very unlikely that the spamming was the motive of the murder.
Besides that, his name and last name sound like he is from south of Russia, or from the former Soviet union republics - Georgia, Chechnya, etc.
People from those places come to Moscow for money and are usually involved in crime activities. Therefore native russians dislike them.
I think that the motive was most likely related to this person's criminal activities. Another possibility - is the nationalistic hostility towards him.
