The ex-girlfriend of the world's youngest lottery winner was shot dead during an argument on New Year's Eve.
Jane Parkes, 28, is the youngest EuroMillions winner in British history, winning £1 million ($1.22 million at current exchange rates) in the lottery in 2013 at just 17 years old.
She had been in an on-and-off relationship with Mark Webley, 36, for about a year.
But on Sunday, Webley was shot dead during New Year's celebrations in his hometown of Edinburgh, Scotland.
The incident is said to have happened outside the Anchor Inn in the city's north just before midnight as people ushered in the new year.
Webley is a well-known figure in Edinburgh's gangster world, having previously served 11 years in prison for shooting dead a gang rival.
Last year, he was charged with repeatedly crashing his car into another vehicle with two people inside, and was acquitted of two counts of attempted murder.
Ms Park said she had spoken to Mr Webley the night before he died.
“'I can't believe I'm writing this. We talked yesterday. I'd give anything to hold you one more time and tell you everything was going to be okay, Mark,'” she wrote on Monday. wrote.
“In the months we spent together, you taught me valuable things in life, and I will never forget you.
“I'm completely devastated. The best bed for you is right there, my handsome.”
Park had previously posted photos of them together on social media, including the one she reposted today, but on Dec. 17, she wrote, “There's nothing worse than being single on Sunday.” It seems the relationship is over.
Police Scotland has confirmed that the road around the pub has been closed to traffic following the NYE shooting.
“The road is closed to traffic at Granton Road and Granton Crescent following an incident reported to police at around 11.50pm on Sunday, December 31,” a spokesperson said.
“Officers are on scene and the closure will remain in place while the investigation continues to determine the full extent of the incident.”
Local residents reported hearing gunshots in the area where the incident occurred and said they initially believed the bangs were fireworks.
A source told local newspaper Edinburgh Live: “At first we thought it was fireworks, but then we saw blue lights, ambulances and armed police.”
“There was a lot of commotion right before the bell rang.”
Webley's brother Don posted a photo of them together on social media after Webley's death.
Mr. Park dedicated his heart of love to the photo and left it behind.
