Two British men shot dead at Irish bar on the Costa del Sol
Two British men have been shot dead at an Irish bar on the Costa del Sol. The Scottish men are understood to have been gunned down near the entrance door to Monaghans Fuengirola, in Andalusia, by a masked armed assailant on Saturday evening. He reportedly got out of a car that screeched to a halt outside the bar before fleeing in the same vehicle driven by an accomplice. Both men died at the scene. Despite police sources initially describing the two men killed as Irish and saying one was 41, Spain 's National Police subsequently confirmed both were Scottish. Earlier the government's sub-delegate in Malaga Javier Salas also said they were both Scottish. He said the first victim was shot in the chest and the second in the chest and abdomen. Regional newspaper Diario Sur reported the attack took place just after 23:00 when a car pulled up and a masked man opened fire. Spanish media reported that officers from the region's specialist and violent crime unit are leading the investigation. The Foreign Office said it had not been approached for any consular assistance but that its staff stood ready to assist any British nationals if required. Monaghans is located on the seafront and is a popular bar with tourists and expats. The bar had been showing the UEFA Champions League final on the evening of the attack. It comes after a 'British' man was killed in a Costa del Sol street shooting in April. The murder happened around 8.15pm on April 21 in the popular British holiday resort of Calahonda between Marbella and Fuengirola. Police were hunting the killer who was believed to have fled the crime scene in a getaway car later found torched nearby. The murder happened on a street called Don Jose de Orbaneja Street, where there is a well-known tennis and padel tennis club as well as a neighbouring holiday resort called Finca Naundrup. The victim was already dead by the time police and paramedics reached the scene. Locals told cops they had heard between eight and 10 shots being fired. The incident was described as a gunfight. Police put the area on lockdown after the shooting.
