A FAMILY was allegedly slaughtered by a servant who raped and stabbed to death a mum and strangled her six-year-old son.
Rail chief Sergey Malakhov, 44, was on a business trip when four members of his family were killed at his country home in the village of Kudma, near Nizhny Novgorod, western Russia.
His wife Elena Malakhova, 41 – who was a well-known florist- was allegedly raped and stabbed to death.
Mr Malakhov, an executive on the Trans-Siberian network from Moscow to Vladivostok, was away for work when the massacre took place.
The couple’s son Mikhail, six, was strangled as were the railway boss’s mother Olga Malakhova, 66, and father-in-law Anatoly Korolyov, 63.
Another son and a daughter, Maria, 13, escaped the horrific bloodbath.
