Spanish officials are investigating the mysterious deaths of a Russian gas executive, who was found hanged outside his Spanish villa, and his wife and daughter who were both discovered hacked to death inside the property.

Investigators are said to be working on the assumption that Sergey Protosenya, 55, killed the two women with an axe and knife, before taking his own life in the courtyard of his Lloret de Mar villa on Spain's Costa Brava.

However, local reports said evidence does not conclusively point towards this explanation, as no suicide note was found in the property and it appeared steps had been taken to ensure there were no fingerprints on the murder weapons.

The investigation remains open, officials have said.

The bodies of the trio were found on Tuesday, just one day after another Russian multimillionaire was found dead with his wife and daughter in their Moscow apartment, in another apparent murder suicide involving a gun.

Very sad for these wives and children if the husband/father is killing them.

What did he have on Putin?

So they are knocking off the oligarchs. Whats next?

Isn’t this the second Russian family we’ve heard about today who wound up killed?

[Celtic Conservative]

Yep. Messages are being sent.

Loose ends.

Man, times must be tough in Russia. The SVR can’t even afford ice picks.

Looks like it.

He suffered anisocoria, after a teenage fist fight.)

Prayers up for them.

Not exactly good for the more likely scenario - the entire family is killed by assassins.

Ukraine. Ukraine. Ukraine.

I’m glad Russians are getting back to basics. I was tired of dash cam videos, super yachts, and pics of Vlad shirtless. Go with what you know, dudes.

I somehow find it rather unbelievable that two top executives
both decided to kill their wife and child.

Killing them with a gun is one thing, but to chop up your
child? Something is going on here.

[SpaceBar]

There is no mystery. Putin had them murdered.

[CJ Wolf]

Seems odd that the surviving kid would call it in. Both times.

[CJ Wolf]

Yeah. Odd

Why are these families committing suicide?

[Zhang Fei]

Not exactly subtle. Shades of the NKVD rubout of Trotsky:
