A beautiful blond nurse and her mom were discovered brutally stabbed to death in a blood-spattered Brooklyn apartment — and cops say the mother’s killer boyfriend has already fled back to his native Russia.
The horrific murders of Mount Sinai Hospital maternity-ward nurse Larisa Prikhodko, 28, and her mother, Tatyana Prikhodko, 56, also a registered nurse, in the mom’s Sheepshead Bay apartment over the weekend sparked an international manhunt for Tatyana’s longtime live-in beau, Nikolai Rakossi.
Rakossi, a 52-year-old day laborer, was spotted on video surveillance fleeing the apartment building at 2299 E. 13th St. Sunday after the slayings, hauling two suitcases, police sources said.

He then rushed to Kennedy Airport, where he traded in an unused ticket to Russia from last year for a one-way flight to Moscow, boarded the plane and took off, police sources said.
An NYPD detective stationed in Eastern Europe was alerted to the case, as was Interpol, the sources said.
“He must have gone crazy,” said Larisa’s weeping pal Yelena Raykin. “[Larisa] always said he was a nice guy . . . that he would always play with her son and the son would call him ‘Grandfather.’ ”
Police sources said there was no previous record of violence between Rakossi and Tatyana, a 13-year veteran of Brookdale Hospital’s neonatal intensive-care unit.
But sources also said that sometime over the weekend, an argument was overheard from the couple’s apartment.
Larisa, who lived in an apartment three floors below her mom, had been scheduled to work Saturday night at Mount Sinai but never showed. She was last seen by a friend Saturday at about 3:30 p.m., sources said
Before Larisa was to head to work, she had left her 2½-year-old son, Ryan, with his dad, Felix Zeltser, who lives nearby, friends and cops said.
She was supposed to pick up her son at Zeltser’s home Sunday morning, but when she failed to show up, Zeltser got worried, sources said. He went to the 61st Precinct station house Sunday at 8:30 p.m. and reported her missing.
Cops first went to Larisa’s third-floor apartment, gaining entry through a fire-escape window. Finding her cellphone and ID undisturbed and nothing else amiss, they left, sources said.
But after learning that Larisa’s mom also had missed her scheduled shift at Brookdale Hospital, cops forced their way into Tatyana’s two-bedroom apartment.
In the entryway, they found Larisa, dressed in sweatpants and a T-shirt, dead from numerous stab wounds to her torso. A bloody knife was found near her corpse.
In the rear bedroom, police found Tatyana fully clothed, with her throat slashed and stab wounds to her face and torso, sources said.
Another bloody knife was found in the dining room, sources said.
There were no signs of forced entry in the apartment. Zeltser last night refused comment.
“He was very devastated,” said Ronnie Raykin, Yelena’s husband, who spoke to Zeltser yesterday.
A grief-stricken Yelena Raykin, 27, added, “It’s crazy. And [Ryan’s] going to start asking, ‘Where are they?’ What can you tell a 2½-year-old boy? You can always say, ‘They left, they left somewhere.’ You can’t say, ‘They got killed.’ ”
