The moment a Scottish gangster was chased and shot dead in a pub he owns on the Costa del Sol has been broadcast on Spanish TV.
Ross Monaghan, 43, and his associate Eddie Lyons Jnr, also from Scotland, were killed at the Irish bar in Fuengirola, Spain at around 11pm on Saturday.
The unknown gunman first shot Lyons Jnr outside the pub, where it's understood he died instantly.
Footage shared by Telecinco programme El Programa de Ana Rosa then shows the killer, who is dressed in black, walk towards Monaghan inside the bar.
Monaghan stumbles and drops to his knees in front of him, before trying to desperately scramble away.
He appears to turn to look at the assailant who then fires at least four rounds at the gangster at close range. Monaghan died at the scene.
In the video, bystanders can be seen fleeing as the terrifying killings unfold.
The gunman reportedly fled the scene on foot, before jumping into a getaway car that sped off.
Pictures taken shortly after show Lyons lying on his back in shorts and a T-shirt outside the pub while onlookers stand nearby.
Just before the murders, drinkers at the pub had been watching the Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan.
The wife of one of the victims witnessed the attack, according to Malaga-based news outlet Sur, although it did not say which one.
Monaghan and Lyons are described as top members of the Lyons crime clan.
Spanish police said on Monday they had yet to make any arrests.
'The investigation is continuing into the fatal shooting of two men at a pub in Fuengirola, with nothing new at the moment,' a spokesperson said.
Court officials are expected to confirm today that a secrecy order has been placed on the investigation, preventing public officials from making any detailed public comment, reports the MailOnline. More Trending
These are often placed early on in criminal probes in Spain to protect the investigations.
It's thought investigators are working on the theory that British nationals are behind the murders.
On April 21, a 32-year-old man from Liverpool was shot dead as he headed home from playing football with friends in Calahonda, not far from Fuengirola where the weekend's shooting took place.
Four days earlier, a 34-year-old man was taken to hospital after being shot outside a nightclub in Calahonda.

Eddie Lyons Jnr was on golf holiday when killed in Spain
He was shot and killed alongside Ross Monaghan at a bar in Fuengirola, Southern Spain. According to the Daily Record, Lyons was on holiday with "golf buddies" from Dullatur Golf Club when he was gunned down in the ruthless assassination. It is understood that some of the golfers were still in the bar when Lyons and Monaghan were executed. Sources have confirmed the golfers are not affiliated with the gang violence - but saw Lyons as a stalwart member of their golf club. The golf club, near Glasgow, has also reportedly been flying flags at half mast this week as a mark of respect for Lyons, who grew up near the course.

'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.' We previously reported that graphic footage emerged showing gangland shooting victim Ross Monaghan in his final moments.

Gangland feud arrests total reaches 42, Police Scotland say
A spate of violent incidents, including shootings, firebombings and assaults, began in Edinburgh and the east of Scotland in March but spread to the Glasgow region in April and May. Police said in one incident, a home in Milton, Glasgow, was allegedly broken into and a 12-year-old child and a 72-year-old woman were attacked. They were treated in hospital. Targets have included homes and businesses, police previously said. READ MORE: Human rights group loses bid to bring legal action against equalities watchdog Chief Constable Jo Farrell said on May 21 that 35 people had been arrested. On Friday, police revealed a further seven people have since been arrested. In the latest arrest, police executed a warrant during the evening of May 29 and detained a 20-year-old man who was later charged in connection with alleged fire-raising in Glasgow on May 13. He appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on May 30 in connection with the incident in Drumchapel Road, police said. A dedicated team of officers from the Specialist Crime Division, with support from regional divisions across Scotland, are continuing to work together to gather evidence and reassure the public with intelligence-led patrols. The investigation, named Operation Portaledge, has so far seen more than 8000 homes visited and 1600 vehicles stopped as officers continue to gather information. Meanwhile, police this week said there is 'no intelligence' to suggest the deaths of two Scots in a Spanish bar are linked to the recent criminal attacks in Scotland's central belt. The two men, understood to be Eddie Lyons Junior and Ross Monaghan, died after a gunman opened fire outside Monaghans Bar in Fuengirola, Malaga, on Saturday. (Image: Google Mpas) Speaking about Operation Portaledge on Friday, Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Ferry said: 'I want to be clear that violence will not be tolerated, and we will not stop until we bring those responsible to justice. 'We are still following positive lines of inquiry and this arrest (on May 29) highlights our continued resolve to target organised crime. 'The support of our communities remains vital, and I want to again express my sincere thanks to the public for their continued help and information so far. 'If you know anything that could assist our ongoing investigation, please do the right thing and speak to us.' Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0562 of March 21. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111 and information can be given anonymously.
