A former Kremlin official and Gazprombank vice-president have been found dead in his elite £2 million Moscow apartment by his 26-year-old daughter, police have said.

The multimillionaire Vladislav Avayev, 51,  was seen dead along with his wife who was also pregnant by the name of Yelena Avayev.

Yelena who was 47 years at the time of her death, was pregnant and was due to give birth in no time when the unfortunate incident happened.

According to reports, the bodies of all the dead family members who had died from the gunshot were first seen by their daughter known as Anastasia, when she opened the apartment after failing to reach her family.

Avayev previously worked as a high-flying executive at Gazprombank, a key part of Vladimir Putin’s gas-for-roubles scheme to hit back at Western sanctions – in which Putin demanded foreign companies open an account with the bank.

According to reports and rumours, Vladislav killed himself and his family after he found out that his wife was pregnant for their driver.

Other accounts suggest the wealthy ex-banker had discovered his wife was having an affair, and the driver had resigned.
