A manhunt has been launched after a top model and her teenage daughter were brutally gunned down at a popular holiday resort.
The bodies of Russian model Irina Dvizova, 42, and daughter Dayana, 15, a popular TikTok influencer, were found tied by rope and wrapped in sheets on a hillside outside Bodrum, Turkey.
The double killing has sparked an international manhunt as Irina's five-year-old son Makar is missing.
Police searched Irina's villa after family members reported not being able to contact the mum and daughter.
They found blood on the sofa and apparently male footprints while CCTV footage of a car led them to the hillside where their bodies were found bound and dumped.
One of the Turkish police's leading theories is that the double killing could be linked to a custody dispute over Irina’s son.

It has emerged in June, the model had gone to court in Moscow in a bid to prevent her ex-husband, Lithuanian Andrey Kuslevich, 45, from having access to their son.
Makar, who had reportedly been in the country, is now missing following the double murder.
Police have reportedly sought help from Interpol in tracking Kuslevich and the boy who is believed to be with him.
Irina and her daughter were reported missing several days ago after friends and relatives could not contact them.

Authorities were alerted after the model's fitness trainer went to the villa and found the door had been forced open.
The mum-of-three recently worked as an estate agent in Bodrum, according to reports.
Her daughter was a TikToker with around 30,000 subscribers and aimed to follow in her mum'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.
Kuslevich, Irina’s second husband, was a security guard for a Ukrainian businessman.
He was wanted in Russia after escaping from custody after he had been arrested for an alleged theft.
Irina’s elder son David, 20, said his mother “did not allow him to communicate with the child [Makar].”
