Footage shows assassin chase and kill man inside Irish pub in Spain
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 This is the dramatic moment Ross Monaghan's killer chases him round his Costa del Sol pub and shoots him dead after assassinating the Scottish gangster's pal Eddie Lyons Jnr outside seconds earlier. The graphic footage, broadcast on Spanish TV today, showed the gunman dressed in black honing in on Monaghan as he stumbles and drops helpless to his knees in front of him. Two innocent bystanders thought to include a waitress and another man in black whose identity is not known can be seen running for their lives before the hitman calmly pumps at least four bullets into the Glaswegian hood's chest and belly from close range. The stomach-churning footage was broadcast this morning on popular Telecinco programme El Programa de Ana Rosa. It showed Monaghan, 43, believed to be the owner of Monaghan's Fuengirola where Saturday night's shooting occurred just after the end of the Champions League final, appearing to turn round and look into his killer's eyes after being forced to crawl on all fours to try to get away following his fall before realising he has no escape. After being shot he sits upright against a wall, motionless and blood seeping out from his stomach wounds onto his white T-shirt as his life ebbs away. The assassin, who is rumoured to be Scottish but has yet to be arrested, 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. Local reports today said Monaghan got the chance to try to escape after Lyons Jnr was killed instantly outside because the gunman's weapon jammed. The only images to emerge from Saturday's double shooting before the footage from the inside of the bar were pictures and video of Lyons Jnr lying dead on his back in shorts and a T-shirt on the terrace outside - before and after he was covered up by a blanket. (Image: SOLARPIX) Spanish police confirmed this morning they had yet to make any arrests, with a spokesman saying: "The investigation is continuing into the fatal shooting of two men at a pub in Fuengirola, with nothing new at the moment." Refuting claims yesterday by a government representative for the Malaga area that a third person had been hurt and was in hospital, the police spokesman said: "There is no record of another person or people being injured." Respected Malaga-based newspaper Sur reported today the wife of one of the two victims had witnessed the horror attack around 11.30pm on Saturday, but did not say which man's partner it was. The gunman fled on foot before rejoining an accomplice in a car who had driven him to the murder scene. Police have retraced part of their escape route to the old N-340 dual carriageway heading towards Benalmadena. Details about the make and colour of the getaway vehicle have not yet been released. Officers from an elite Spanish National Police Costa del Sol-based Anti-Drug and Organised Crime Unit UDYCO are heading the ongoing probe, although they are reporting to a local investigating judge coordinating the operation. 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. Such orders, called a 'secreto de sumario' in Spanish, 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. Some local reports point to witnesses identifying the shooter as a "blond man" and investigators working on the theory British nationals are behind the gangland killing, but detectives have not commented. The National Police has confirmed two men were killed but declined to name them, saying in the force's only official statement so far: "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." A British woman answered the phone at the Irish bar, said to be owned by Ross Monaghan, yesterday morning but said she had been told by the police not to make any comment. Career criminal Monaghan, who fled Scotland for Spain after a failed attempt on his life outside a Glasgow primary school in 2017, was tried but acquitted over the murder of notorious Glasgow hood Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll at an Asda car park in 2010. In August 2017 he and Eddie Lyons Jr, both members of the Lyons Glasgow crime family, were cleared of being involved in a brutal street attack on three men outside the Campsie bar in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire. The shooting in Spain comes amid a violent gang war that has ripped through Scotland since March said to have started over a fallout over drugs. Saturday night's gun murders follow the fatal shooting nearly six weeks ago of a 32-year-old British man in nearby Calahonda a 15-minute drive from the Irish bar towards Marbella. He was shot dead around 8pm on April 21 in a professional hit as he headed back to his car after finishing a football match with friends. The killers fled in a getaway car that was later torched. Police are investigating the brutal assassination as a drug-related gang shooting 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. Monaghans Fuengirola describes itself online as a place "where you can relax and spend the day enjoying great home cooked meals on a sunny terrace and watch live sporting events." It also bills itself as a "family friendly sports bar and restaurant located in Torreblanca, Fuengirola opposite one of the area's most popular beaches." Torreblanca is to the east of Fuengirola town centre and a stone's throw from an area called Los Boliches.

Brave nurse held the hand of gangster Ross Monaghan as he lay dying in Costa del Sol shooting
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 brave nurse has told how she held the hand of Scottish gangster, Ross Monaghan, as he lay dying in the Costa Del Sol. The woman, who is in her 50s, said she was having a drink in a nearby bar with her partner when a masked gunman shot and killed both Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr in front of horrified tourists, reports The Mirror. The gunman struck in Monaghans bar in Fuengirola at around 11:30pm on Saturday, May 31, just after the Champions League final. The nurse, who asked not to be named, said she ran to help after she heard the shots. She told our sister publication, The Mirror: "I was sitting with my partner in a pub when we heard one shot followed by a gap and then four more shots. We all ran into the bar and I was shouting 'get inside'. "At the time they were celebrating the football because the game had just ended. Someone said a person had been shot and because I'm a nurse I ran to Monaghans bar to see if I could help." Graphic footage showing Monaghan scrambling to escape his killer has since been aired on Spanish TV. The video was captured seconds after Lyons Jnr, 46, was gunned down outside the bar. It shows Monaghan, 43, with blood seeping through his white t-shirt from a chest wound, propping himself up on a table before collapsing. CCTV from the bar showed the gunman - who was dressed in black - chasing Monaghan. Two bystanders, thought to be a waitress and another man in black, can be seen running away from the suspect.

He was clearly dead and had what appeared to be a bullet wound in his chest and one in his abdomen. A bar lady told me there was another one in the bar. "The other man, Ross, had one shot in his chest, just on the right side. He was lying on the floor and was still alive but his breathing was laboured. He was wearing a white T-shirt and shorts and trainers and he looked younger than 43. "There was blood everywhere, on the floor and around the service hatch to the kitchen. There was nothing I could do, he wasn't bleeding from his mouth so I just held his hand, stroked his hair and waited for the emergency services." It is understood Monaghan had an exit wound in his back where the bullet had passed through his body. The nurse said armed police arrived on the scene first who moved him to the recovery position before performing CPR. Monaghan, who was believed to be the owner of the bar, was a suspect in the 2010 murder of Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll outside in Robroyston, Glasgow. He was charged but the case was later dropped. Monaghan fled to Spain after he was shot in the shoulder after dropping his child off at a primary school in Glasgow in 2017. Spanish police said on Monday that no arrests have been made. 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."

'I held Scot gangster's hand as he lay dying after holiday hotspot shooting'
A brave British nurse who tended to Ross Monaghan after he was shot along with Eddie Lyons Jnr said: 'I just held his hand and stroked his hair. His eyes were open and I kept saying stay with me Ross' A British nurse has told how she held the hand of a Scottish gangster as he lay dying after he was shot during a double murder on the Costa del Sol.

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. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Real Madrid goalscorer Brahim Diaz gets revenge on Diego Simeone with win over Atletico Madrid
Tempers flared during the Champions League Madrid derby on Tuesday night, with Real Madrid 's Brahim Diaz confronting Atletico boss Diego Simeone after he scored the winner. Diaz scored the decisive goal to give Carlo Ancelotti 's side a slim 2-1 lead going into the second leg at the Metropolitano next week, after Julian Alvarez cancelled out Rodrygo 's fourth-minute opener. His 55th-minute strike was a moment of individual brilliance and fancy footwork, as out of nothing he darted into the box, dodged a pack of Atletico shirts and slotted into the far right corner. But it was most notable for his celebration later on, as he squared up to Simeone and shouted in his face, 'Speak now! Speak now! Speak now! You spoke yesterday! Speak now!' The words, picked up by Spanish TV, appeared to be in response to Simeone's comments in his pre-match press conference. The Argentine was asked who would step up for Real Madrid in the absence of Jude Bellingham, who was suspended for the game after picking up his third yellow card of the competition against Manchester City last month. 'Real Madrid will seek to compensate for that position, I imagine with Camavinga and Luka Modric,' he said. 'There is also the possibility of Brahim, but I don't think so. Obviously, there is a pattern that repeats itself.' But Simeone was made to eat his words at the Bernabeu, although he later denied all knowledge of the exchange, reportedly saying he 'didn't see anything'. Aggression and needle are normally hallmarks of any Madrid derby but aside from Diaz's outburst this game was remarkably free of them, with both sides appearing to conserve some energy for the all-important second leg.
