A Swedish national has been charged with murdering a record label executive on Christmas Eve.

Flamur Beqiri was gunned down in Battersea, south-west London, at around 9pm as he returned home with his wife and young child.

The 36-year-old was shot multiple times in Battersea Church Road by a lone attacker who fled on foot.

Scotland Yard said Mr Beqiri, a Swedish national who had Albanian heritage, had been living in London for four or five years.

Anis Fouad Hemissi 22, a Swedish National, was extradited to the UK this morning following his arrest at Copenhagen Airport on January 20 under a European Arrest Warrant.

He has been charged with murder, as well as possession of a firearm.

Hemissi will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court tomorrow.

Mr Beqiri was the brother of Real Housewives of Cheshire star Misse Beqiri. She is married to Danish football star Anders Lindegaard.

He married his wife, Debora Krasniqi, in Cernobbio, by Lake Como in Italy, in October 2018.

An article in Grace Ormonde Wedding Style magazine, which published photos of the occasion, revealed that the couple met through Facebook.

Ms Krasniqi told the magazine that the pair, initially just friends, “fell deeply in love” at his sister’s wedding after speaking for “endless hours over the phone”.

“There was always something special about our connection and bond,” she said.

In a statement released through Scotland Yard shortly after his death, Mr Beqiri’s family said: “Our family are in a state of shock and are grieving. To have so much sadness at this time of the year is heartbreaking.”
