Man accused of murdering Scottish gangsters in Spain appears in court
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The man accused of murdering Eddie Lyons and Ross Monaghan in Spain appeared in court on Friday. Michael Terrence Riley from the Merseyside area, was arrested by local officers last week in connection with the deaths of Eddie Lyons and Ross Monaghan after an international arrest warrant was issued by Spanish cops, the Daily Record. He is charged with two counts of murder and one of possession of a firearm over the incident which saw Monaghan, 43, and Lyons, 46, killed at Monaghan's bar in Fuengirola. Riley first appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday, June 19, but the hearing was delayed due to technical issues. During a brief hearing today, a court date for his next appearance was set. Riley, who is represented in court by specialist extradition lawyer Renata Pinter, will appear again before the same court next month, on July 18. He was remanded in custody until then. The full hearing, where Riley will challenge extradition, is scheduled for October 9 this year. The Lyons crime clan has been locked in a deadly feud with the rival Daniel mob for a quarter of a century, following the theft of drugs from a Glasgow safe house in 2001. A top Spanish cop told reporters the assassinations of Monaghan and Lyons are part of the feud, claiming that Riley is a member of the Daniel gang. Speaking at a press conference in Spain, Pedro Agudo Novo said: "The double murder was carried out by a professional killer and member of one of the victims' rival gangs. "In this case we are not talking about an independent hired killer but an internal member of the rival Daniels gang who ends up assassinating two members of an enemy gang." Scottish police, who have been investigating the war between the rival crime syndicates for decades, seemed to suggest the killing had nothing to do with their rivalry - or the war on the Daniel mob being waged by Lyons associate Ross McGill. Henchmen of the Dubai-based former Rangers ultra - who headed the Union Bears fan group and is nicknamed 'Miami' - have waged war on the Daniel mob and associates for the last few months. The feud has seen a number of homes, people and businesses targeted in firebombings, knife attacks and shootings, in Glasgow, Edinburgh and surrounding areas, and is being investigated by Police Scotland as part of Operation Portaledge.

A three year old girl has been left traumatised after a vicious dog attack outside a primary school, with the animal"ripping open" her skin. Rowan Skinley was walking his three kids home from school when a Cockapoo suddenly lunged at his daughter Bunnie, dragging her to the ground and ripping open her arm, reports the Mirror.

According to dad Rowen, who says he had to "hold the skin on [Bunnie's] arm together" while she awaited treatment, the dog was a small, sandy-coloured Cockapoo. Kent Police confirmed officers are investigating. Rowen said: "It happened parallel to the school on the main road. I was just walking home after the school run. The path is quite narrow, and a woman was walking her dog on the actual road itself. "Then, out of nowhere, the dog just lunged for my daughter and pulled her to the floor. The owner managed to pull the dog off, but when she did that, it ripped her skin open. I was so shocked. All I had to stop the bleeding was my hands. I had to basically hold her skin together." Rowen said: "People who saw what happened came over and said that my daughter hadn't even put her hand out to the dog. The woman just disappeared. She didn't leave any details or anything." Bunnie was rushed to Medway Maritime Hospital and then transferred to St Thomas' in Westminster the next morning. There, she had several X-rays to ensure the puncture hadn't hit her bone, before undergoing plastic surgery. According to her dad, Bunnie has been left shaken following the incident. She will need to return to hospital within a week for a check-up, and to assess whether she will need further work done. Rowen said: "She's doing well now. She's just a bit shaken and keeps talking about how scared she is of the dog. "She also has a lung condition and really bad asthma so she had to be marked down as a high-risk category for sedation. It's really upsetting that the woman didn't stop because it makes you fear for the safety of other kids." A Kent Police spokesperson confirmed an investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information that could assist officers' inquiries, including CCTV or doorbell footage, should contact police on 01634 792209, quoting 46/102876/25.
