A global manhunt is underway following the horrific double murder of a Russian model and her teenage daughter in the popular Turkish holiday spot, Bodrum.
The bodies of Irina Dvizova, 42, and her 15-year-old daughter Dayana were discovered on a hillside outside the city, each with gunshot wounds, wrapped in sheets and tied with rope. Cops found blood on the sofa of their villa and male footprints, leading them to the gruesome discovery.
CCTV footage traced a car's movements to the hillside where the bodies were dumped. One theory suggests the killings may be linked to a custody dispute over Irina's five-year-old son Makar, who is now missing.

Turkish police have reportedly asked Interpol for help in tracking down the boy and his father, Andrey Kuslevich, 45, a Lithuanian citizen. Irina and Dayana were reported missing after friends and family couldn't reach them.
Irina, a mum of three, was a model and recently worked as an estate agent in Bodrum. Her daughter was a TikToker with around 30,000 subscribers and aimed to follow in her mother's footsteps as a model.
Russian diplomats in Turkey are in contact with law enforcement over the deaths of the mother and daughter. Dayana had recently posted a video on social networks saying she and her mother had flown to Istanbul to celebrate her 15th birthday.
