Kamran Ahmed, 27, pled guilty to murder at the High Court in Glasgow today.

His 31-year-old engineer brother, who also faced the same accusation, admitted to the reduced charge of assault.

Kevin and Shona had been in a relationship for 14 years. But, it emerged he had accused her of having “slept” with Rizwan, who lived with Kevin's niece.

The night before the killing, the couple went to the Kevin Bridges gig at Glasgow's Hydro.

Shona recalled Kevin was “really excited about going”.

But, after taking their seats, Shona recalled her partner “getting a bit more upset”.

She said: “This was when he started getting the stuff in his head about Rizwan.

“He was asking was I going to his house. At this, I felt that I wanted to leave2 Shona decided “enough was enough” and left mid-gig. Her son picked her up and told took the mum home.

Police investigate the murder

As they were in the car, Kevin later called to say he was heading to the Ahmed house in Wishaw.

Kevin ended up in a row with the Ahmeds outside their home. He tried to flee, but was held by Rizwan before his brother smacked him with a baseball bat. The victim was likely knocked out, but managed to stagger away.

However, the Ahmeds soon jumped into a friend's car and tailed him.

They found Kevin outside his home pouncing on him in the garden.

Rizwan repeatedly punched Kevin who was battered against his front door.

The pair were remanded and Lord Tyre deferred for reports until August 1 in Edinburgh.
