Because in Russia it is an open message to the public 'don't mess with the KGB or we kill you and maybe your children'. Everybody knows and understands who is the sender and the message. Classic mafia move of intimidation. It is a message to the living.
In the Western World the secret services kill to silence people, not to broadcast messages to the public.
Quite the opposite PR strategy.
