In an unusual sting operation that saw a wealthy couple pretend to be dead and pose for graphic photos, police in Russia tricked a man into believing his parents had been killed by a hitman he'd hired.

According to MailOnline, detectives uncovered a plot in which a 22-year-old man wanted to pay a contract killer to murder his parents and sister so that he could collect a hefty inheritance payout.
