Edvard Smith called his best friend Leslie Thompson to dramatically confess to gunning down his wife Lisa outside a pub as she enjoyed a night out with two women friends.
The tragedy is thought to have happened just days after the couple celebrated becoming grandparents for the first time.
Some speculated that the couple had argued and had decided not to spend the special evening together – but found it inexplicable that the night could have ended in bloodshed.
The couple, from Slough, Berks, were parents to a nine-year-old son and Teejay, 19 – who is thought to have recently become a father.
Lisa, 43, was gunned down outside the Three Horseshoes pub in the picturesque village of Knockholt, Kent, as shocked couples were settling down for romantic candlelit dinners.
As she and her friends prepared to climb into a waiting car at 7pm up to four gunshots rang out.
Shocking CCTV footage of the road obtained by MailOnline show the moment pub goers began screaming in terror before a vehicle is seen driving away from the pub’s car park.
In a harrowing cry a woman can be heard screaming: ‘He’s killed her.’
After the killing, Edvard – who was also known by the surname Stockings and is believed to work in the motor trade – drove 15 miles to the bridge where it is thought he made his dramatic confession.
