Three Men Arrested In Sweden On Suspicion Of Murdering RHOCheshire Alum Missé Beqiri’s Brother!

According to The Sun, three men have been arrested over the murder of Real Housewives of Cheshire's alum Missé Beqiri's brother, Flamur “Alex” Beqiri.

Metropolitan Police said tonight three men have been arrested in Sweden on suspicion of murdering Beqiri. 

The three Swedish nationals aged 22, 31, and 33 were detained today in Stockholm and Vaxjo under a UK European Arrest Warrant. All three will now face extradition proceedings through the Swedish judicial system.

As previously reported, Beqiri was gunned down outside his £1.5million home in Battersea, South West London in front of his wife and young son on Christmas Eve.

A month later, Anis Fouad Hemissi was arrested and extradited to the UK after police arrested him at Copenhagen Airport on a European Arrest Warrant on January 20. He's been charged with murder and possession of a firearm.

Hemissi was held under a European Arrest Warrant at Copenhagen Airport at the request of Scotland Yard after arriving there on a flight from Thailand.

Hassimi is from the Swedish city of Malmo, where Beqiri fled in 2016 after receiving death threats, The Sun reported.

“A 22-year-old man was arrested at Copenhagen Airport, Denmark, on 20 January on a European Arrest Warrant on suspicion of the murder of Flamur Beqiri,” The Metropolitan Police said in a statement in January 2020. “He remains in custody in Denmark pending extradition proceedings back to the UK.”

In August 2020, Hemissi denied murdering Beqiri. The 23-year-old kickboxer appeared at the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales (The Old Bailey) to deny the murder and possession of a firearm.

He was remanded in custody ahead of a three-week trial to take place on July 12. Catherine Farrelly, prosecuting, told the court Hemissi flew into the UK four days before the killings.

“The sole purpose of his trip was essentially to execute the deceased. The prosecution say this was an organized hit,” she said at that time, according to The Sun. “Within an hour of the hit taking place, he then flew out of the country and flew to Copenhagen.”
