Chilling CCTV shows gangland gunman storm Spanish bar before killing Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr
The graphic footage, broadcast on Spanish TV today, showed the gunman dressed in black fire at Monaghan at point blank range.
Horror CCTV footage shows the moment Ross Monaghan's killer chases him round his Costa del Sol pub and shoots him dead after executing pal Eddie Lyons Jnr seconds earlier.
The chilling clip taken from inside Monaghan's bar in Spain shows a gunman dressed in black walk inside the boozer and shoot Monaghan, 43, at point black range on Saturday night after the Champions League final.
The Glasgow hood is seen dropping to the floor in the video as the gunman shoots a number of times. As Monaghan crawls across the floor, he appears to turn round and look into his killer's eyes.
He is later seen sitting upright against a wall covered in blood.
Two innocent bystanders thought to include a waitress and another man in black, can be seen running for their lives in the footage, which was broadcast on Spanish TV today.
The assassin appeared to be wearing a black baseball cap, a black jacket and black shorts and a white T-shirt round his neck he is thought to have used to hide his face before striking. He is reported to have got out of a car to carry out the hit before fleeing in the same vehicle driven by an accomplice.
Local reports today said Monaghan got the chance to try to escape after Eddie Lyons Jr was blasted outside the bar because the gunman's weapon jammed.
The double shooting unfolded in front of horrified ex pats and holidaymakers in the Costa Del Sol.
Harrowing images from the scene showed Eddie Lyons Jr lying lifeless on his back in shorts and a T-shirt by a drinks and meal blackboard on an outside terrace at the Irish bar.
A video later emerged showing a passerby desperately tried to save the slain gangster as he lay on the pavement.
The woman was seen giving him CPR but failed to revive him.
Police and paramedics were later seen surrounding the body of one of the victims after he was covered under a blanket as shocked locals and holidaymakers looked on.
The Record understands the shootings are linked to Scotland's ongoing gangland war.
No arrests have been made.
Spanish police said: 'The investigation is continuing into the fatal shooting of two men at a pub in Fuengirola, with nothing new at the moment.'
Officers from an elite Spanish National Police Costa del Sol-based Anti-Drug and Organised Crime Unit UDYCO are heading up the ongoing probe.
Court officials are expected to confirm later today a secrecy order has been placed on the investigation, preventing public officials from making any detailed public comment.
Monaghan, who fled Scotland in 2017, to head for the Costa Del Sol is listed as the proprietor of the bar in an online business directory.
The gangland figure touched town in Malaga in January 2017, after he was shot twice in a gun attack outside a primary school in Glasgow. Monaghan was reportedly shot twice by a gunman lurking outside St George's Primary, Penilee.
The Record understands the horror gun killings are linked to a violent gang war that has been raging in Scotland since March.
The feud first erupted following a fallout between rival gangsters after a £500k stash of cocaine was reportedly swiped from under the nose of Dubai-based Mr Big, Ross McGill.
The drugs were reportedly taken by caged Edinburgh kingpin Mark Richardson's foot soldiers sparking a series of violent attacks on homes and businesses.
Mr Big, who was later revealed as former Union Bears capo McGill waged war on Richardson and his associates, including the Daniels crime clan in Glasgow.
Mr Big's enforcers, a faceless and frightening group going by the name of Tamo Junto (TMJ), have carried out a series of fire bombings and other vicious attacks on homes, businesses and cars associated with Richardson.
We reported earlier this week that a well-placed source said the Dubai-based Mr Big behind attacks on Daniel targets, Ross McGill, had agreed to end hostilities after being leaned on by cartel bosses in Dubai.
However gangland enforces Tamo Junto (TMJ) quickly quashed any talk of peace as they vowed to continue to carry out the turf war.

Cristiano Ronaldo bodyguard lifts lid on working for him - 'He was threatened'
Cristiano Ronaldo's footballing exploits have raised him to insurmountable fame, and with such notoriety comes an added security risk, as detailed by a former bodyguard Cristiano Ronaldo's former bodyguard has admitted that people and fans would 'threaten' the Portuguese superstar, though his life was never at risk. Having emerged at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, Ronaldo rose to become one of European football's finest and won his first of five Ballons d'Or in 2008 as a Red Devil. A four-time Champions League-winning spell with Real Madrid followed, before a stint with Juventus, a short-lived return to Old Trafford and an unceremonious exit to the Saudi Pro League with Al Nassr. Throughout his illustrious career for club and country, in which he has mustered over 900 goals and won countless accolades, the superstar's fame has transcended football. Ronaldo is one of the most recognisable sports stars, if not celebrities, in the world, but such popularity brings with it its fair share of risk. On Wednesday, for example, a fan evaded security before Portugal's match against Germany and invaded the pitch, getting his hands around the 40-year-old before being escorted away by security. The Al Nassr forward has, therefore, often sought the help of a bodyguard, and Hichman, who served him for four years, has given insight into the sort of threats he would aim to deal with and how much he'd be paid. "Our work depends on the client's profile. In the case of Cristiano, with whom I worked for four years, his profile wasn't high-risk because people didn't want to kill him, and he didn't receive death threats," Hichman told Telecinco. "He was threatened by fans or people who wanted to rob him." The 36-year-old Hichman went on to detail the strategies he would employ to keep Ronaldo, his partner Georgina Rodriguez and their children safe. "We always have to know where we're going, who will be there, and have clear entry and exit points, as well as contact points," he continued. "We must always be aware that our lives could be at risk. We have to be willing to protect a person, and sometimes we have to give our lives to protect them. "If I have to use weapons, I will use them. The most important thing is having the ability to think quickly, solve problems, and remain calm in difficult situations." Hichman looks back fondly on his time serving the marksman, claiming that he would earn around £850 per day providing security for Ronaldo, with whom he has a positive relationship despite not working for him anymore. "He is the best boss I've ever had," stated Hichman. "We have a good relationship. Working with him wasn't like working with someone threatened with death or kidnap. We had some silly incidents with paparazzi or crazy fans, but nothing major." Aside from making life difficult for photographers and trying to keep Ronaldo's family out of the public eye as much as possible, Hichman revealed that he never dealt with serious threats to the 40-year-old. There have been many instances of fans running onto the pitch, as occurred during Portugal's Nations League clash this week, to try and get a close-up glimpse of Ronaldo or attempt to take a selfie with him. Yet, in April, Marca reported that Ronaldo had ramped up security efforts after threats were made against his family on social media, allegedly from a group located in Saudi Arabia, where he currently resides.

Golf buddies of Scottish gangster witnessed brutal execution on Costa Del Sol street
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 A Scottish gangster's "golf buddies" were with him when he was gunned down in Spain while on a sunshine holiday. Senior mob member Eddie Lyons Jnr was with pals from Dullatur Golf Club in the Costa del Sol when he was gunned down alongside his associate Ross Monaghan. Sources have revealed that the golfers have been left 'traumatised' after being caught up in the mob violence while enjoying their trip to the Spain with Lyons, reports The Daily Record. They were with Eddie Lyons at Ross Monaghan's Irish bar in Fuengirola to watch the Champions League Final on Saturday, May 31. It is understood that some of the golfing group were still in the bar when Lyons and Monaghan were executed in the ruthless assassination. Sources have confirmed the golfers have nothing to do with criminality - but saw Eddie as a stalwart member of their golf club. Prestigious Dullatur Golf Club, near Kilsyth, has been flying flags at half mast this week as a mark of respect for long-standing member Lyons Jnr, who was brought up in a house near the course. The murdered gangland kingpin has previously proudly posed with fellow members in photographs that have been shared on social media. A source said: 'Accounts of Eddie Lyons going to Spain for some kind of gangland summit are untrue. 'The truth is that the golf trip is one that has happened in previous years and he signed up for it well in advance with mates. The boys get out to Spain and have a laugh and play some good courses. 'They had been there for several days and wanted to go to the Champions League Final, so Eddie arranged for him and a few others to go along to a bar that was owned by his mate. 'He arranged that he would catch up with Ross Monaghan there and they were having a bog-standard, social evening until all hell broke loose.' The golfing party, of more than a dozen players, also included members from nearby clubs, some of whom were in different nearby bars. After the double murder, a video soon emerged that showed a man leaning over stricken gangster Lyons. It is believed this was a golfer who was a friend of the dead man. Another horrific video showed Ross Monaghan fleeing from the gunman inside the bar, who had emerged from a car nearby before first attacking Lyons. Monaghan, 43, ran from the outside terrace area to the indoor bar, where he was chased then viciously shot down. The source said: 'It is believed that the hit was organised for Ross Monaghan and it's likely that it was just chance that brought Eddie Lyons to the bar that night. It's hard to see how he could have been part of the plan. 'It is also likely that the gunman had been watching the bar to see, primarily, if Ross Monaghan was there. 'It's not known if the gunman would have known what Eddie Lyons looked like in advance but, one way or another, he has worked out who is in attendance and acted fast and ruthlessly. 'This is not a double execution that was planned well in advance. A window of opportunity opened and that is why it turned into a double murder.' Sign up for Edinburgh Live newsletters for more headlines straight to your inbox It is believed that some golfing pals of Lyons were spoken to by Spanish police and may later be asked by specialist organised crime officers in Spain for a more detailed account of what happened on that night. Other golfers who were with Lyons for the golf trip were also close friends of Andy 'Dumbo' Gallacher - who was also a member at Dullatur but died in prison in 2021. The current gang war centres around a reported fall-out between Edinburgh kingpin Mark Richardson and Dubai-based Ross McGill, a former Rangers 'ultras' fan leader, now associated with a sinister 'Tamo Junto' group. It is claimed that McGill was ripped off for £500,000 in a drug deal. Several people linked to Richardson and his allies in Glasgow's Daniel crime mob have been targeted, with homes, businesses and associates hit by firebombs and people attacked with knives. The Tamo Junto (TMJ) has circulated videos and issued messages to taunt their rivals. Several cars have been set ablaze and drive-by shootings have left bullet holes in doors and windows. A nasty home invasion in north Glasgow left a young boy and an older woman – both related to the Daniel family – bloodied and battered. The incessant attacks led to speculation that Richardson and the Daniel mob were 'finished'. But the level of violence employed in Fuengirola, with the deadly use of a handgun and the complications of operating across European borders, has escalated the war. The Tamo Junto gang have blamed the Lyons's Scottish rivals for the execution. Police Scotland has said there is 'nothing to suggest' the shooting of Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan was planned in Scotland. Both Lyons and Monaghan had previously survived attempts on their lives. Eddie Lyons was shot in the face at his home in Cumbernauld, Lanarkshire, in 2006. Monaghan was cleared over the 2010 execution of Daniel enforcer Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll, who was gunned down in a car outside Asda in Robroyston, Glasgow. He moved to Spain after surviving a previous murder bid when he was shot outside a primary school in Penilee, Glasgow, in 2017. On Saturday Lyons was shot in the chest at point-blank range and died instantly. At least four bullets were fired at Monaghan inside. A source at Dullatur Golf Club, which charges £950 a year for membership, confirmed that the club's flags had been put at half mast after Eddie Lyons's death. The source said: 'It has been a tradition for more than 100 years that we gave people that respect when they pass. 'That respect would be given to all members.' The source added: 'People at the club are shocked at what happened. Our members are interested in playing golf and what happened in Spain is another world entirely.'

Twisted fraudster lied to girlfriend about mum's death to con her out of thousands
The 'born again Christian' scammed a woman who met online before swindling another short-term partner out of an eye-water amount. A Scots-based fraudster told his girlfriend his mum was dead to con her out of more than £15,000 - despite her being alive and well to this day Andrew New, 36, also swindled money from his victim to buy Champions League final tickets on the empty promise that he'd repay her. New, who now lives in a Christian rehab facility in Motherwell but is originally from Wirral, was spared jail after a court heard the case had gone on for three years, giving him the time to "turn his life around" in Scotland, reports Liverpool Echo. On Thursday, Liverpool Crown Court heard that New had been in a relationship with Sarah Haslam between April and June 2022. During these 10 weeks, he repeatedly begged her to transfer money into his bank account, as well as those of a friend and his "Uncle Joe", for a "variety of fabricated reasons". Henry Riding, prosecuting, described how these reasons including having forgotten his credit card at petrol stations and wishing to purchase football tickets. Shockingly, she also gave him thousands of pounds under the impression that he needed to "make funeral arrangements" for his own mum in spite of her being "alive and well". New "promised to pay her back in due course, but never did". This led to him pocketing a total of £15,734.65 of Ms Haslam's money during a period of only two-and-a-half months. Reading a statement from the witness box, she tearfully said: "As a result of what happened to me, I'm exhausted both mentally and emotionally. I've told very few people what they did to me three years ago. I say they, because I can't say their name out loud. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

I now know I was manipulated by them. I gave this person everything I had. In return, I was controlled and coerced until they broke me. I've lost part of myself. "I considered myself a good judge of character. I now realise I was a pawn in their game, played by a first class method actor. I still struggle to understand how I let them do this to me. This person's narcissism led me to believe I could never do better. "Three years on, I still live the trauma. I felt like I had ruined my life. A day doesn't go by when I don't feel the hurt, pain and shame for not recognising what was happening to me." He was first arrested in June 2022, but it took more than a year befpre he even stepped foot in court. In August last year, New plead guilty during his first appearance before the crown court, but his case did not proceed to sentence until now due to ongoing proceeding against the two other men whose bank accounts were used as part of the scam. However, charges were dropped against them by the Crown Prosecution Service. New has four previous convictions for four offences, including being handed a two-year community order for fraud by magistrates in 2019. This came after he stole more cash in relation to "non-existent football tickets" from a woman who he met on Plenty of Fish. He also tried to procure further funds from his victim, who he's never met in person, so he could "visit an aunt, who he described as ill." Paul Becker, defending, told the court: "The defendant is sorry for what he has done. He did not know, first thing today, that the victim was going to be present. Having heard her victim personal statement, he is utterly ashamed of himself. "This is an unusual case. The delay, in some respects, helps the defendant, because he has been able to rebuild his life. He has moved to Scotland. He has been at a rehab centre for the last year. "He works six days a week helping people. Because he is working, he gets free accommodation. He has been able to move away from this area, from obviously problematic relationships and the addiction he has had. "He has stayed off cocaine. That was the blight of his life. He is utterly ashamed of what he has done. What he has done is disgraceful. He can only say that it was because of drugs. "He has an unattractive record. He has done his best since he moved away to try to turn his life around. If the defendant goes to jail today, he spends a few months in jail, he comes out on licence and he is back to square one. "Everybody wants Mr New to be rehabilitated, to stay off drugs, to stay away from a situation where he is essentially stealing and to be a working, productive member of society. My submission is that the defendant should be given a chance today." New admitted one count of fraud by false representation. Appearing in the dock wearing a navy blue body warmer over a beige long sleeved top, he was handed a 21-month imprisonment suspended for 20 months with 180 hours of unpaid work, a rehabilitation activity requirement of up to 20 days and a 12-month condition of residence. "What you did has caused her very significant financial difficulties. She is still now, three years on, repaying monies which you took from her. That has delayed her ability to buy her own home. "You are described as now showing insight into the consequences of your offending. You have accepted full responsibility. You had issues with the use of cocaine. You are now residing in a Christian rehabilitation facility. You now identify as a born again Christian. "You work on a charitable basis six days a week, paying for your accommodation. You act as a mentor. You have expressed remorse and shame and want to apologise to your victim. As Mr Becker puts it, you have rebuilt your life. You have tackled, or are in the process of tackling, your addiction, which underlines all of your offending. "The mitigation in your case all flows from one thing. That is the delay in bringing this case to resolution, a delay of around three years. It cannot be said that the delay is attributable to your actions. "That delay means that you can show that you have committed no further offences and allows Mr Becker to identify that you have turned your life around in that three-year period. That is very significant. "This is a case where appropriate punishment could only be achieved by an immediate custodial sentence. However, there is the significant issue in this case, which I am obliged to take into account. That is the fact that the offending is now three years old. "Had you been sentenced closer in time to the commission of this offence, I have no doubt that an immediate custodial sentence would have been the only correct disposal. You are not being sentenced close in time to your offending. "An immediate custodial sentence would mean a number of months in prison, the removal of your support network and, frankly, has the potential of unpicking the progress that has been made. You have come very close to going to prison today. If all the promises suggested on your behalf are not made out and you return to offending, this sentence will be activated."
