Hitman guilty of fatally shooting Real Housewives star’s brother

A Swedish hitman has been found guilty of murdering a reality TV star’s brother in front of his family on Christmas Eve.

Flamur Beqiri, 36, whose sister, Misse Beqiri, is famed for her appearance in the Real Housewives Of Cheshire, was killed at his home in south west London on 24 December 2019.

Mr Beqiri, the head of an international drugs gang, was fatally shot on the doorstep of his Battersea address while his young family were inside, after being embroiled in a feud with a rival organised crime group, headed by Amir Mekky, 24.

Professional kickboxer Anis Hemissi, 24, was today found guilty of murder and possession of a firearm at Southwark Crown Court.

Another man Estevan Pino-Munizaga, 35, also from Sweden, was found guilty of manslaughter after being acquitted of murder.

Two other Swedish nationals, Tobias Andersson, 32, and, Bawer Karaer, 23, were acquitted of both murder and manslaughter charges following the two-month trial.

Clifford Rollox, 31, from Islington, north London, and Dutch national Claude Isaac Castor, 31, from Sint Maarten in the Caribbean, were found guilty of perverting the course of justice, after being hard to clean up the residence of the Beqiri’s killers.
