The bodies of the Russian model and her teen daughter who were found killed and wrapped in sheets remain in Turkey as their family have no money to take them home.
The bodies of the model and real-estate agent Irina Dvizova, 42, and her daughter Dayana Dvizova, 15, were found in the district of Bodrum on 28th November.
They had been reported missing five days earlier, when relatives were trying to reach them and broke into their home in the Konacik neighbourhood, finding blood stains on the sofa.
Bodrum District Police Department Public Order Bureau teams started a search operation to find the two women.
After investigators checked the CCTV footage in the area, and following the tracks of a suspected vehicle, the bodies of Irina and Dayana were found wrapped in sheets and three meters apart on the steep slope by the roadside.
Both victims had gunshot wounds, according to local media.
The main suspect for the murder is Irina’s ex-husband, Russian mercenary Andrej Kuslevic, 42, who after the murder reportedly fled to Lithuania along with Irina’s youngest son, named as Makar.
Kuslevic reportedly previously worked as a bodyguard for a Ukrainian oligarch.
The bodies of the two victims are now at Mugla Forensic Medicine Institute after the autopsy has been done.
Now David Dvizova, the eldest of Irina’s three children, and other relatives have started a charity campaign in Russia to retrieve the remains of his mother and sister and take them back home.
David said: “The most important thing right now is to bring them to Russia. This world lost two pure-hearted, beautiful women.”
If the bodies are not taken in seven days, the two victims will be buried in a homeless cemetery, according to local media.
Relatives of the mother and daughter, who were not in a good financial situation, shared posts about the campaign on their social media accounts.
