It's quite possible. Considering we all witnessed him kill before, I could see reason why he would go through great lengths to hide it.
[ He shakes his head with mild, concerned disapproval, though. Even to hide the way he was killed, was all of the mess really necessary? It seems rather excessive, but for as much as he respects Percy, he won't dip into trying to psychoanalyze who might have killed Riku. Those details tend to get a bit gruesome and into the most depressing parts of humanity, to say the least. ]
But you're right. Even if there was a good reason, relatively speaking... I don't know if it would be taken well. The Bandits seem to be afforded some mercy. Operating independently poses a risk of seeming complicit.
[ So, he agrees, though he does have another concern. ]
...If you speak to him, be sure not to do so alone. I'll come with you, naturally, though it may not be natural in a way that Ezio wouldn't feel suspected. If he feels cornered, I'm concerned with what he might do.
