Nicholas Mockford Exxon Mobil expressed shock at the fatal shooting of Nicholas Mockford

A senior British oil executive has been shot dead in a suburb of the Belgian capital Brussels, it has emerged.

Father-of-three Nicholas Mockford, 60, who worked for Exxon Mobil, was attacked as he left a restaurant with his wife nearly two weeks ago.

It was initially thought police imposed a news blackout on the attack, on 14 October, but it was reported locally.

One eyewitness told Belgian television how he twice tried to resuscitate Mr Mockford before an ambulance arrived.

"I heard a noise, 'tack tack', I thought that was bizarre and went outside to look," the man told Flemish television channel, VTM.

"There was a woman lying on the floor on the pavement on the other side of the road. She was crying 'help, help'. There was also a man lying on the street, next to a car. [The] woman shouts out it was a white van."
