So turns out this bizarre footnote to the Pussy Riot saga was just that:
MOSCOW -- Investigators say police have detained a man who has confessed to killing two women in a central Russian city, and then tried to mislead investigations by scrawling a message at the murder scene demanding freedom for jailed members of the Pussy Riot band.The man -- a 38-year-old university professor named Igor Danilevsky -- was detained Thursday in Kazan, Russia's Investigative Committee said on Friday. It said Danilevsky wrote "Free Pussy Riot" on a wall in the victims' blood because he wanted the deaths of the 38-year-old woman he dated and her mother, 76, to appear as if they were a "ritual killing."
The Committee said Danilevsky had convinced the woman to take out a loan to repay his debts, and promised to marry her. Police had found the knife used to stab the women to death and disfigure their faces and bodies, it said. - [NYDN]

It would have been more edgy if it was in period blood.. Would have been the startings of a true pussy riot

Throw them off the trail? Are there a bunch of Pussy Riot supporters in Russia who are known to hack women to death or something?

Не знаю что у мужика было в голове, но уже известно, что он это сделал чтобы запутать следствие. До Pussy Riot ему не было никакого дела.
P.S.
Жалко девчонок из Pussy Riot, закроет их Путин.
