Husband crying for the cameras..
Staring tearfully at the cameras, his performance as the husband in mourning for his murdered wife was flawless.
Police did not suspect Fadi Nasri as he pleaded for help to find the killers of his special constable wife at a press conference days after she was stabbed to death.
“Obviously, someone has got a guilty conscience,” he said.
It was not until several months later, when police discovered three photographs of a Lithuanian lover on his mobile phone, that the deceit began to unravel.
The apparently “perfect husband” was leading a double life - enjoying secret liaisons in expensive hotels and on holidays abroad with a girl he had met in London as a £200-a-night prostitute.
But he was living beyond his means and Nasri fell heavily in debt. His mistress became pregnant and he was increasingly frustrated with his wife wanting to try for a baby of their own. She was the breadwinner in the family, and when she threatened divorce, he realised he might lose it all.
In February 2006, the couple took out a joint life insurance policy for £350,000. By the Spring, Nasri, 34, decided it was time to cash it in.
Born in Beirut, Nasri moved to Britain aged seven to live with his father, having previously been cared for by his grandmother and aunt when his parents separated.
He had one failed marriage and in 1998 was jailed for nine months after trying to run over a police officer who asked him about an out of date tax disc. His time in jail set him up with a number of “dodgy” contacts, who he would later call upon to do his dirty work.
Nisha’s father had died in 1996 and her mother in 2001, the year she was introduced to Nasri through a friend. They married on 6 May, 2003.
Nisha ran her own hairdressing business and forced her husband to quit the 'Seventh Heaven’ escort agency business he ran because she thought it was sleazy. The couple started a limousine company, with him borrowing heavily from his wife to fund it.
Friends said that despite their arguments over Nasri’s laziness, Nisha “adored” her husband and they were, to those on the outside, as “happy as two lovebirds”.
In 2006 they began arguing because Nisha wanted to try for a baby. She told friends that Nasri would go out and not return until the early hours, and then complain he was “too tired” to have sex.
Nasri, in fact, had started sleeping with prostitutes and met Laura Mockiene, a Lithuanian in her mid-twenties, in a brothel in Victoria, central London.
A relationship started after they talked about her six-year-old daughter, who had to undergo a brain operation. They began dating and met in top hotels, including the £235-a-night Coppid Beech Hotel in Bracknell, Berks.
The lovers also secretly went on holiday to Egypt while pretending Nasri was visiting a sick uncle. They would speak to each other on their mobile phones several times a day.
It is unclear what the final trigger was for Nasri calling in a hitman, but police believe that it came shortly after Ms Mockiene had told him she was pregnant. She is later understood to have had an abortion in Lithuania.
On May 6, Nasri left his wife at home alone and organised five youths to break in to the couple’s £410,000 home in Wembley, north London. But the special constable, who had worked for police for three years at Wembley station, refused to let the men into her home.
She was distraught by the incident, and Nasri promised to buy security cameras, but deliberately delayed installing them.
He now hired a “professional”, using fixer and drug dealer Rodger Leslie to set up the “hit”. Leslie, 38, a prolific heroin supplier, has 15 piercings on his face and body which the Old Bailey heard represented murders he had been involved in.
He hired Jason Jones, a nightclub bouncer with 76 previous convictions for a range of crimes including robbery and assault.
On May 11, Nasri again left his wife at home alone, knowing the killers were sitting nearby waiting for him to leave the house. He promised Nisha not to be home late and told her to lock the doors securely, knowing it was a futile gesture because he had given a set of keys to the hitman.
Jones let himself in, took a knife from the kitchen, and stabbed her in the leg as she tried to flee. A neighbour heard her screams and called Nasri, who rushed home and slipped effortlessly into the role of the shocked husband, crying “Oh my God Nisha” as she was put into the ambulance. She bled to death before she arrived at hospital.
Weeks later, Nasri transferred some of his wife’s assets into his own name and booked more romantic holidays with Ms Mockiene to Spain, Lithuania and the United States.
Detectives followed their own leads, however, and the case was cracked open by a CCTV camera on a tiling shop. When Jones dumped the knife in a nearby drain the camera picked up an Audi A4 car, which was traced to Tony Emmanuel. He was questioned and named Jones as the knifeman.
When police arrested Nasri months later at his flat in Barnet, they found Ms Mockiene was living with him and stood by his side. She remained there until yesterday’s verdict. Police believe that as he faces a life sentence, she will finally abandon her greed-driven lover.
