This is the alleged moment armed police arrested two people over a gang shooting during New Year's celebrations which killed EuroMillions winner Jane Park's ex-boyfriend.
The two suspects, aged 25 and 32, were both detained at a block of flats in the capital earlier this week. Police Scotland has confirmed two arrests in connection with 38-year-old Marc Webley's murder.
Footage captured through a peephole on a phone shows the man and woman being led down a corridor in handcuffs. It's understood the footage was captured on Thursday evening.
Convicted gangster Marc Webley, who last year briefly dated Jane, was shot in a "targeted" hit outside the Anchor Inn pub in Edinburgh on New Year's Eve. He was rushed to hospital but pronounced dead shortly after. A second man, aged 39, was also treated for serious injuries.

There will continue to be an increased police presence in the area and anyone with further concerns should speak to officers, call 101, or, in the case of an emergency, 999."

The force previously appealed to trace a vehicle that was used by the suspected gunman. A red Hyundai Tucson, which had at least one other person inside, was seen pulling up alongside Webley before shots were fired.
The balaclava-clad shooter was seen getting back inside before driving away in the direction of Leith, Daily Record reports. Just hours later, officers seized a car around four miles away from the murder scene in the Craigentinny area of the capital.

He was responding to an earlier attempt on his life which saw a car mount a pavement in a bid to mow him down. It's understood the ex-convict had told pals he was expecting another attack with claims he had a £20,000 bounty placed on his head.
A source told the Record: "The guy had loads of enemies from Edinburgh and Glasgow. One of them wanted him dead and offered £20,000 to do the job. There's a long list of suspects who could've ordered the hit. He was more than aware his life was in danger and was warned by the police too. Marc didn't care, he wasn't scared. He knew he'd go out that way. He seemed to accept that one day someone would get the better of him."
In 2022, Webley was cleared of attempted murder after being accused of trying to ram a car off the road in Edinburgh. In 2006, he was convicted of being the gunman in a gangland-style ambush on a Kawasaki motorbike which saw him jailed for 11 years.
Webley had been due in court this month accused of battering an ex-partner. He also faced trial over an alleged breach of the peace and driving offences last year.
