Two Women Stabbed to Death in Kazan, Russia; "Free Pussy Riot" Marked in Blood at the Scene

Two women were found stabbed to death in a Russian apartment with the words "Free Pussy Riot" written on the wall in what is believed to be blood, investigators said today (August 30, 2012), stirring more passion over the women jailed for a protest in a Moscow church, according to Reuters website.

A Russian Orthodox Church official said supporters of Pussy Riot now had "blood on their conscience."

A lawyer for the women -- who were sentenced to two years in prison this month for staging a "punk prayer" against Vladimir Putin in Moscow's main cathedral -- said the words scrawled on the wall may have been a "provocation" aimed at discrediting Pussy Riot.

The bodies of a 76-year-old pensioner and her 38-year-old daughter were found yesterday in their apartment in the city of Kazan, the federal Investigative Committee said in a statement. They died from knife wounds.
