<\/div>A father of two who was gunned down in front of his young family yards from his townhouse on Christmas Eve has been named as a successful record label boss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Flamur Beqiri, 36, died in the street as Debora Krasniqi desperately screamed for help.<\/p>\n
The newly married couple had been approaching their \u00a31.7million home with their children, a young son and baby girl, after an evening out ahead of Christmas.<\/p>\n
Neighbours reported hearing five loud bangs around 9pm before finding Mr Beqiri \u2013 founder of label 20\/20 Records \u2013 lying injured in the road in Battersea, south west London.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
A nurse who lived opposite the couple rushed over to help the father, who moved to the UK from Sweden in 2016.<\/p>\n
The woman said: \u2018I tried to help but I knew quite quickly from looking at him that there was not much I could do.\u2019 He was pronounced dead soon after by paramedics.<\/p>\n
The family was yards from their home which had been adorned with Christmas decorations including a Santa hanging from a window sill.<\/p>\n
One neighbour who saw the couple hours before the shooting said: \u2018They were heading out and the wife had her baby in her arms.<\/p>\n
\u2018They seemed in good spirits and said Merry Christmas.\u2019<\/p>\n
The couple moved into the home after buying it in 2017 and had only recently completed a big refurbishment.<\/p>\n
Mr Beqiri, known as Alex, is the brother of Real Housewives of Cheshire star Miss\u00e9 Beqiri.<\/p>\n
It was at his sister\u2019s wedding to her ex-husband, Manchester United footballer Anders Lindegaard, that Mr Beqiri fell in love with his future wife Mrs Krasniqi. His sister and Mrs Krasniqi \u2013 who also appeared on the Real Housewives show \u2013 had been friends before the couple met.<\/p>\n
Mr Beqiri was said to have proposed after flying their families to a chalet in Kizbuhel, Austria, where he covered the floor in a 1,000 red rose petals. They married in a lavish ceremony at a luxury hotel in Lake Como, Italy, in October 2018 where their friends were flown out from all over the world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a piece about their nuptials in Wedding Style magazine, Mrs Krasniqi revealed they had paid for their guests\u2019 accommodation as a \u2018thank you\u2019. Speaking of the special day, she said: \u2018I saw only him and my son, and everything fell into place.<\/p>\n
\u2018I shook like a leaf reading our vows and when he cried reading his, I broke into pieces.<\/p>\n
\u2018As we walked back down the aisle as husband and wife, we turned to each other, smiled, and said \u201cPfff, thank God that\u2019s over\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She said the couple had put off their honeymoon as she was expecting their second child soon after and had been busy renovating their dream home.<\/p>\n
Last night a police cordon still remained across the property, where drops of blood could still be seen on the doorstep.<\/p>\n
They said the gunman fled on foot towards Battersea Bridge Road after the shooting.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Detective Chief Inspector Jamie Stevenson, who is leading the murder probe, added: \u2018Our investigation is in the very early stages and we are still working to establish what the motive could be that has led to a man losing his life in such a horrific way, on Christmas Eve, in front of his family.<\/p>\n
\u2018They have been devastated and are being supported by specialist officers.<\/p>\n
\u2018Not only would many people have been going about their business, but I am sure many residents would have been alarmed by the sound of the disturbance and gone to see what happened.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018Did you see a person fleeing the area? Where did they go, and what did they look like?<\/p>\n
\u2018Had you noticed anyone loitering in the area beforehand? We need any information you can give us.\u2019<\/p>\n
