A Russian model and her teenage daughter were found brutally murdered and wrapped in a sheet in Turkey – with their brutal ex-husband and father now being hunted as prime suspects, according to reports.
The bodies of Irina Dvizova, 42, and her 15-year-old daughter, Dayana, were found on Tuesday tied with ropes and left about 10 feet down a steep slope in the resort area of Bodrum, Turkish outlet Haberturk reported.
Both victims suffered gunshot wounds, according to Russian news site Pravda.
Dvizova and Dayana – also an aspiring model, with about 30,000 followers on TikTok – had not been in touch with loved ones for several days before family members went to their rented villa and found blood on the sofa, the report said.
A neighbor, known only by her first name, Angelina, told the REN channel that she heard gunshots in the area.

“I know there are shots in the house. Security called and asked if we heard anything suspicious,” he said.
A disturbing video shared by the network shows first responders seen carrying a black body bag up the dangerous slope where the body was found.
Those close to the victim identified the main suspect in the killing as Dvizova’s ex-husband, Andrey Kuslevich – described by relatives as a prickly character who previously served as a bodyguard for Ukrainian oligarchs, Komsomolskaya Pravda reported.

“He beat me with his hands and a towel so that there were no bruises,” Dvizova’s son from his first marriage, David, 20, told the media how Kuslevich allegedly treated the family.
“He also hit my mother: with his hands and feet. Even my sister got it. I was afraid of this man, I was afraid for my life,” added David about the years before Dvizova left her stepfather.
Eventually, Dvizova left the home she made with Kuslevich in Lithuania and joined her mother in Moscow before taking her children — including a 5-year-old son she shared with Kuslevich — to Turkey.

“We met him in Bodrum, when they were separated,” a friend told the newspaper.
“She said that her ex-husband wanted to take her children away from her, that he was haunting her and that she was mentally ill. As I understand it, he fled to Turkey from it. It was very creepy to hear that [talk about it].”
At the time of her death, Dvizova was working as a real estate agent and allegedly tried to revoke Kuslevich’s access to their young son, Komsomolskaya Pravda reported.

This is also not the first time the former bodyguard has run afoul of the law: In 2017, Kuslevich was arrested in Moscow and a warrant was issued for him by Interpol, the outlet claims.
Although it is not clear what the charges against him are, Kuslevich apparently escaped from the pretrial detention center and was later wanted under a criminal case for escaping arrest, Komsomolskaya Pravda said.
Authorities are scouring Europe for Kuslevich, who is Lithuanian and is believed to have left Turkey.

Meanwhile, Dvizova’s family is collecting funds to bring the victim’s body back to Russia.
