A motorbike has been found dismantled and buried in a wooded area after a brother and sister vanished from a resort city.
Diana Nazimova, 22, and her 17-year-old brother Roman Nazimov left home on the bike at around 4am on Saturday (26 July) under unexplained circumstances.
Their last GPS signal was recorded around 200m from their home before the location data stopped updating.

Before disappearing, Diana managed to send a relative a message marked “URGENT!”, saying she felt as though she was being followed.
Her smartphone had detected an unknown Bluetooth tracker, leaving her deeply alarmed.
Contact was lost completely at 4.26am.
The siblings’ family reported them missing to police in Pattaya, Thailand, who launched an investigation.
The Russian family has lived in the country for several years, as reported by Need To Know.
Their mother, Zarina Nazimova, moved there in 2018 and her two children joined her in 2021.
She said: “That night, Diana came home.
“Before that, she said she had the feeling someone was following her and that she wasn’t going to go out riding. But at around 4am, Diana and Roman left the house again.
“They were wearing casual clothes and had no belongings with them, as if they were only stepping out briefly and expected to return soon.
“They never came home.”
Police made a major breakthrough yesterday (28 July) when officers discovered the siblings’ Honda ADV
motorbike dismantled and buried in a wooded area near Huai Yai, along with numerous scattered vehicle parts.
Investigators believe the bike was deliberately destroyed and hidden in an attempt to eliminate evidence.
They are searching for several suspects, including a motorcyclist captured on CCTV apparently following the pair shortly before they disappeared.
Despite the discovery, there is still no trace of Diana or Roman.
