The man suspected of shooting a woman outside a pub in Kent rang his friends to inform them that "she's dead" just hours after the horrific incident.
Lisa Smith, 43, was fatally shot in a pub car park near Sevenoaks, Kent just after 7pm on Valentine's Day.
Edvard Stockings - who is also known by the last name Smith - called friend Leslie Thompson under two hours after the fatal attack which took place outside the Three Horseshoes pub in Knockholt.
"She's dead, I love you. I'll see you on the other side," the suspect told Thompson.

After he allegedly carried out the attack, officers understand that Stockings drove to the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and entered the water.
After three days of searches along the river, his body has not been found.
