A 22-year-old man’s plot to assassinate his parents and sister was foiled when police got his parents to play dead. It is alleged that the prodigal son had hired an assassin to murder his wealthy parents and ten year old sister so he could claim his inheritance. He then instructed the perceived “contract killer’ in how and where his family should be murdered.

According to The Sun, he agreed a fee with the undercover policeman for killing all three of his relatives, Russian police officers said, and demanded to see pictures of his slain parents.

Detectives found out about the alleged plot and staged the killing in the family home – even getting his parents to pretend they had been murdered. The police said they then sent the mock murder scene pictures to the son, who had no idea of the undercover snare.

Though very “devastated” about their son’s alleged intent, the young guy’s mother and father played dead in the police mock-up and photographs of them, with blood gushing from “fatal” knife wounds, were taken.

The “assassin” arranged a meeting in a Mercedes and showed the photographs of his “slain parents” to the man. No pictures were released of the man’s sister and it is unclear if she took part in the police set-up.
