A third murder suspect is due to be flown to the UK accused of killing the brother of Real Housewives of Cheshire star Missé Beqiri, a court heard today.
Flamur ‘Alex’ Beqiri, 36, was shot in front of his wife Debora Krasniqi and young child on the doorstep of his £1.5million family home in Battersea, southwest London, last Christmas Eve.
Estevan Munizaga, 34, is to be flown from Sweden to Heathrow Airport in connection with the murder, the Old Bailey heard.
Tobias Andersson, 31, and Anis Fouad Hemissi, 23, both from Sweden, have already been charged with his murder.
Andersson also appeared at court today via video link from HMP Wandsworth following his extradition to the UK from Sweden last week.

Catherine Farrelly, prosecuting, alleged that Andersson met with alleged gunman Anis Fouad Hemissi in the days leading up to the assassination.
She claimed Andersson flew to Britain to provide Hemissi with a disguise and firearm.
Hemissi, from Malmo, and Andersson also from Sweden, are both charged with murder.

In addition, last month Clifford Rollex, 30, of Islington, north London, was charged with perverting the course of public justice in connection with the murder.
He was bailed to next appear at Wood Green Crown Court on November 30, the Metropolitan Police said.
Ms Farrelly said of Andersson: ‘The prosecution say he essentially was part of a lengthy operation and his role was to assist Mr Hemissi in organising and executing the offence in person.

‘This person arrived in the UK on 16 December last year.’
Ms Farrelly added: ‘There is another further defendant who is to be extradited from Sweden tomorrow, Mr Munizaga.’
When Munizaga arrives in the country tomorrow he will be formal charged with murder, the court heard.
Hemissi denied murder and possession of a handgun earlier this year.
Andersson is charged with murder and faces a plea and trial preparation hearing on 26 January next year.
Mr Beqiri, who was also known as Alex, was the brother of Real Housewives of Cheshire star Missé Beqiri (pictured)
Mr Beqiri was peppered with bullets in front of his screaming wife and his child outside their £1.5million home in Battersea, south-west London, by a lone attacker.
The brother of former Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Misse had just returned to the family home on Christmas Eve at 9pm when he was shot dead.
Mr Beqiri was a Swedish citizen of Albanian origin who had left Malmo for London nearly five years ago.
