The partner of a man shot dead on the driveway of his home has said his death feels like "a nightmare" as she appealed for information about his murder.

Redwan El-Ghaidouni, who police said was linked to criminality and drug importation in the past, died after being shot eight times as he sat in his car outside his house in Vine Lane, Hillingdon.

Detectives today revealed they are offering a £50,000 reward for information that leads to the prosecution of the 38-year-old father-of-three's killer or killers.

They also released an e-fit of a man seen close to the crime scene an hour before the victim was murdered at about 7pm on February 3.

He was seen standing on the verge by a telegraph pole at the junction of St Andrews Road and Vine Lane, opposite Mr El-Ghaidouni's house, Scotland Yard said.

Mr El-Ghaidouni's partner, whose name has not been released by police, today said her family wants justice for him.

She said: "It has been six weeks since Redwan was so brutally taken from us, it feels like a nightmare.

"The police have been working tirelessly around the clock, but they need your help, for all his family and his children's sake make that call. We desperately seek the truth and to obtain justice for Redwan."

Detective Chief Inspector Noel McHugh, leading the investigation for the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "There is a substantial amount of money available as a reward for anyone who has information that leads us to the arrest and prosecution for the man or people responsible for Redwan's murder.

"Redwan was gunned down, almost immediately after he pulled his car into his driveway. This was a very brutal and well-planned murder. It is likely the gunman would have been supported by other people.

"We have been examining Redwan's past and he was linked to criminality and drug importation.

He continued: "I am sure that Redwan's murder is being widely talked in criminal circles and networks. If you have information about the motive behind the killing, who may have been responsible, or the man who pulled the trigger you can speak to us in complete confidence."

The man who shot Mr El-Ghaidouni was wearing a distinctive dark hooded top, with a large motif on the front, dark bottoms, dark gloves and dark shoes or trainers, police said.
