Graphic footage of Ross Monaghan shooting broadcast on Spanish TV
Graphic footage showing gangland shooting victim Ross Monaghan's final moments have been broadcast on Spanish TV.The video was captured inside Monaghan's bar in Fuengirola, Andalucia, seconds after Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, was gunned down outside.It shows Monaghan, with blood seeping through his white t-shirt from a chest wound, propping himself up on a table before collapsing.Spanish detectives said investigations into the double murder, which happened at about 23:30 on Saturday, were ongoing.
Bar CCTV captured the gunman - who was dressed in black - chasing critically-injured Monaghan before he stumbled and fell to the ground.Two innocent bystanders, thought to be a waitress and another man in black, can be seen running away from the suspect.The gunman appeared to be wearing a black baseball cap, a black jacket, black shorts and had a white T-shirt round his neck, which he is thought to have used to hide his face before opening fire.The indoor lounge bar was deserted at the time but a number of customers, who had been watching the Champions League final, were outside.
Monaghan, 43, who is believed to be the owner of the pub, was a suspect in the 2010 murder of Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll outside an Asda supermarket in Robroyston, Glasgow.The case against him later collapsed but he returned to the headlines in 2017 when he was shot in the shoulder after dropping his child off at a primary school in the city's Penilee area. Spanish police confirmed on Monday that they had yet to make any arrests.A spokesman said: "The investigation is continuing into the fatal shooting of two men at a pub in Fuengirola, with nothing new at the moment."The gunman fled on foot before rejoining an accomplice in a car who had driven him to the murder scene.Detectives have retraced part of their escape route to the old N-340 dual carriageway heading towards Benalmadena. No details about the getaway vehicle have been released.
Officers from the Spanish National Police's Anti-Drug and Organised Crime Unit are heading the ongoing probe but they are reporting to a local investigating judge coordinating the operation.Court officials are expected to confirm later if a secrecy order has been placed on the investigation, preventing public officials from making any detailed public comment.Such orders are often placed on criminal probes especially in their infancy to protect investigations by limiting the number of people who have access to sensitive information.The National Police has confirmed two men were killed but declined to name them.A force statement said: "Around midnight on Saturday an incident with firearms occurred in Fuengirola, specifically at an entertainment venue along the seafront."Two males died as a result from gunshot wounds."The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made so far."In August 2017 Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jr, both members of the Lyons Glasgow crime family, were cleared of being involved in a street attack on three men outside the Campsie bar in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire.The shooting in Spain comes amid a series of assaults, shootings and firebombings across Glasgow and Edinburgh since March which have resulted in more than 30 arrests.
Four shootings in a month
Saturday night's gun murders followed the fatal shooting nearly six weeks ago of a 32-year-old British man in nearby Calahonda, a 15-minute drive from Monaghan's.He was shot dead around 20:00 on 21 April in a professional hit as he headed back to his car after playing in a football match with friends.The killers fled in a getaway car that was later torched. Police are treating the shooting as drugs-related but have yet to make any arrests.The victim has not been named but was known to come from Liverpool.Reports at the time described the incident as the fourth shooting so far that month on the Costa del Sol, where rival gangs have increasingly used extreme violence to settle scores and a number of international mafias are known to have a base.Four days before the Calahonda shooting, a 34-year-old man was rushed to the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella after being shot outside a nightclub in the famous Costa del Sol resort.

Travis Decker: Search continues for man who allegedly killed his 3 daughters
Police are still looking for a Washington man they believed murdered his three young daughters one week Decker, 32, is wanted on kidnapping and first-degree murder charges for killing his daughters aged nine, eight and five, according to the Wenatchee Police Department in Washington state. Officials believe Mr Decker, who they say is an outdoorsman and may have gone to mountain survival school as part of his military training, is hiding in a remote part of the mountainous and wooded state, making the search for him difficult. He has been said to "pose a significant risk, if approached". Police have not provided a possible motive. The girls, Paityn, Evelyn and Olivia, died from apparent suffocation in a remote campground, earlier this week, according to police. Their mother reported them missing on 30 May after Mr Decker failed to return his daughters to her following a visit. He also did not take her phone calls. A few days later, on 2 June, police found the girls' bodies near a campground. Police also found Mr Decker's cell phone at the campground but he was no longer there. His truck, which he was believed to have been living in, was also found nearby."I don't think any motive would be acceptable. And clearly it's not the decision of a sound mind," Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison said at a press conference on Wednesday, where he made a public plea to Mr Decker to turn himself Decker's outdoor survival skills may be helping him evade the authorities searching for him, which includes the FBI, Sheriff Morrison said. "It sounds like at times he would go out and would be off-grid for sometimes up to two and a half months," Sheriff Morrison said after speaking with Mr Decker's Decker may have scoped out the area and hidden supplies there before allegedly killing his children, and he has "the knowledge to survive for a long period of time," the sheriff added."We want a peaceful resolution to this, but we're not going to relinquish our efforts," Sheriff Morrison said in asking Mr Decker to come forward. "Let's wrap this up and do what's right for your kids."The US Marshals Service on Wednesday announced a $20,000 (£14,780) reward for information leading to Mr Decker's capture.

Teenager who died in ‘hit and run' had just arrived in UK ‘for a better future'
A 16-year-old boy who died after he was hit by a car which appeared to mount the pavement had recently arrived in the UK from Yemen 'for a better future', his family said as a second man was arrested on suspicion of murder. Abdullah Yaser Abdullah Al Yazidi was walking along Staniforth Road, in the Darnall area of Sheffield, on Wednesday afternoon when he was hit by an Audi car which appeared to be driving on the wrong side of the road at three electric bikes. The car also hit one of the bikes, leaving an 18-year-old man with serious injuries, before leaving the scene. Police are continuing to question a 20-year-old man on suspicion of murder and attempted murder after he was arrested in Kent on Thursday. On Friday, South Yorkshire Police said a second man, aged 26, who had been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has now been re-arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. Relatives and friends of Abdullah said he was devoted to his family and would 'light up their faces with a big smile'. He arrived in the UK from Yemen two or three months ago, and had devoted himself to learning English ahead of starting at college in September. Abdullah's relative Saleh Alsirkal runs the corner shop on Staniforth Road which the teenager visited just before the crash. He said he had had a hospital appointment earlier in the afternoon and popped into the store, as he often did, before heading off to find some food. Mr Alsirkal said: 'His dad brought him over to change his life, to get a better future for his son, but this has happened and destroyed everything. 'God bless him. He's is in a better place than this place. Good has chosen him.' He said: 'I want to thank everybody for their support. Everyone has come together and this has helped the family.' Mr Alsirkal said Abdullah was a 'kind boy' who just wanted to look after his family, including his three sisters. He said he was really enjoying learning English. 'Every time he had a new word to learn he was so excited about it,' he said. 'It meant a lot to him and he learned quick. Sometimes he would stay in the shop just so he could talk to people. He tried to be friends with everyone.' He said: 'He wanted to be the main guy for the family. He was 16-years-old but he was a clever man. I would call him a man.' Abdullah's friend Oasmah Thabet said: 'What I can tell you for certain about him is that he really cared for his family. 'You can really tell the character of somebody by the support they give to their family. 'It just shows the gratitude he had, and he spread that gratitude to the people around that community. 'To the people who would come around and just say hello to him, he would light up their faces with a big smile.' Mr Thabet said: 'He was here for a few months and was starting the learn English as well. 'I'd like to think that we related in the sense that both our families migrated from Yemen to here. 'The reason our family came here was for a better life – to live the dream. 'For something to happen like this and for your dreams to be cut so short, it's a tragic loss for the family and it's a just a shock that can't be described.' He said that every family in the area was thinking 'what if it's my kid next'. 'That's something that no parent should ever feel,' he said. Detectives have said they believe a grey Audi drove towards three electric bikes, colliding with one rider, who suffered serious injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening, before hitting Abdullah. Detective Chief Inspector Benjamin Wood said: 'This is a heartbreaking case in which a completely innocent boy has lost his life. 'Our thoughts remain with Abdullah's family and our priority is securing justice for them. 'A murder investigation has been launched and we have a team of detectives working around the clock. 'I am renewing our message to not share footage of this incident which may cause further distress to Abdullah's loved ones.' Mr Wood asked for anyone with footage or information to contact officers and said he was keen to hear from the riders of two electric bikes who were in the area at the time. Two people, a man, aged 46, and a woman, aged 45, arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender have both been bailed pending further inquiries, police said.

Nurse jailed for murder of elderly patients faces wait in conviction appeal
A nurse who was jailed for the murder of four elderly patients faces a wait to discover whether his appeals against his convictions are successful. Colin Campbell, formerly known as Colin Norris, was found guilty in 2008 of killing four women and attempting to kill a fifth by injecting them with insulin. Doris Ludlam, Bridget Bourke, Irene Crookes and Ethel Hall were inpatients on orthopaedic wards where Campbell worked in Leeds in 2002 before they died, and had developed severe, unexplained hypoglycaemia. Campbell denied any wrongdoing and said he did nothing to cause hypoglycaemia in any of the patients. He unsuccessfully appealed against his conviction in 2009 and applied to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) in 2011, who said previously that the prosecution relied on 'wholly circumstantial' evidence. The CCRC referred the case to the Court of Appeal in London four years ago. After 14 days, the appeal finished on Friday after closing submissions from Michael Mansfield KC, for Campbell, and James Curtis KC, for the Crown Prosecution Service, who opposed the appeal. Mr Mansfield previously told the court that Campbell's appeal is a 'straightforward case' and that the judges 'must conclude that these convictions are unsafe'. However, Mr Curtis said the court must uphold the convictions, adding that the jury in Campbell's trial were 'provided with the necessary relevant facts and issues, from a plethora of highly qualified and clinically experienced witnesses'. Lady Justice Macur, sitting with Sir Stephen Irwin and Mr Justice Picken, said after closing submissions: 'It will come as no surprise that we are going to reserve judgment.' She added: 'There may be ancillary matters for which we will call you back. We will know once you have the draft judgment.' She continued: 'All that remains is for me to thank counsel.' A judgment is expected in writing at a later date.
