Mr Big's gangland enforcers claim credit for mansion firebombing after hoods gunned down in Spain
Mr Big's gangland enforcers have claimed credit for a mansion house firebombing which took place moments after high-ranking members of the Lyons crime clan were gunned down on Spanish soil.
Key Lyons lieutenants Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan were assassinated outside Monaghan's bar in Fuengirola on Saturday night.
A posh Scots home in the Renfrewshire village of Bridge of Weir was torched just minutes after the masked gunman pulled the trigger in the Costa Del Sol.
Tamo Junto (TMJ) - the faceless gang linked to Dubai-based Mr Big Ross McGill - have since taken credit for the attack as they released a picture of the blaze alongside a chilling threat.
But despite being known for showcasing their attacks online, TMJ have so far failed to comment on the planned executions in Spain - which are thought to be the first major retaliations against McGill's war.
In their latest release, Tamo Junto wrote: "If you write stuff about us online or try to organise violence against us. We will target you and your family.
"Don't steal from us. Don't threaten us. Don't switch on us.
"Or we will relentlessly come after you."
Firefighters from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service extinguished the blaze on Saturday night, which resulted in a window being smashed and the property suffering smoke damage.
Enquiries are ongoing into the Saturday, May 31 blaze, in the town's Kilbarchan Road. It is being investigated by officers from Paisley CID, who were said at the weekend to be investigating whether it is linked an ongoing gang war.
McGill has been waging war on Mark Richardson's crime mob from Edinburgh and the Daniel clan from Glasgow since March after he was ripped off in a £500,000 cocaine deal when the buyer used fake bank notes.
A number of incidents have taken place in Glasgow, Edinburgh and surrounding areas in recent weeks, with private homes and business premises targeted.
The feud involves the Lyons-linked Dubai-based former Rangers ultra McGill and associates of Edinburgh cocaine kingpin and Daniel associate Mark Richardson.
A number of people have been arrested and charged in connection with previous incidents in the feud, which has been plaguing Scotland's biggest cities since earlier this year, following a drug deal.
On Friday we told how Tamo Junto vowed to carry on their turf war despite reports of a truce between the Lyons and Daniel families.
We reported earlier that a well-placed source had said the McGill had agreed to end hostilities after being leaned on by cartel bosses in Dubai.
They were said to be 'unhappy' over a police crackdown on the turf war which has led to a slowdown in the lucrative drug trade in Scotland.
However, McGill's Tamo Junto gang then released a video saying the war will continue.
Speaking following the blaze at the home in Bridge of Weir, Detective Sergeant Kenny Taggart confirmed no one had been injured as he appealed for information.
Police Scotland has arrested 41 people in connection with a series of linked incidents across the country since March.

Gang of youths filmed brutal attack on teenager as mum feared for daughter's life
Ashley Manning said her daughter Murren was enjoying a day at the beach when she was followed by the group of teens. A Scots mum has spoken out about her anger after a gang of youths allegedly attacked her daughter and filmed the incident. Ashley Manning, from Musselburgh, East Lothian, claims her daughter Murren, 13, was at the beach with friends on Sunday, June 29, when another group began following them. The 37-year-old said the horror attack has left the schoolgirl "traumatised". She told our sister title Edinburgh Live: "She was at the beach with a couple of her friends having a lovely time. "She went down into the sea and she left her jewellery at the top and they took her jewellery and they fired it in the sea, saying 'that's what you get your cheeky little cow, giving me digs'." When Murren denied giving them dirty looks, her mum said she was threatened by the girls, who refused to let her climb back onto the pier. She was able to call her mum and make her way to the bus stop to come home. A concerned Ashley called a friend to take her to the bus stop, but by the time she arrived, the youths had caught up with Murren and set upon her. In shocking footage shared with Edinburgh Live, she can be seen surrounded by a group of girls. One grabs her hair and starts striking her, before the others start joining in kicking and stamping on her before one kicks her in the face. Ashley continued: "I was going 'Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, please just keep her alive until I get there, just please keep her alive. "They were about to start battering her again and obviously they saw my car. They ran away up and then down another alley to the beach and I got there and her crocs were lying in the middle of the road, her handbag was everywhere. She was covered in blood." Ashley said one of the girls earlier tried to make Murren address her as a 'princess' and say sorry for giving her 'dirty looks'. She said: "They just took advantage of her, they've sniffed her out a mile away because she's soft and gentle and they took advantage of her. But you know what, fair play, because she went for it when they attacked her, she went for it and every single kick in the head that she got, she got back up." She got Murren home to safety before involving the police, but is still "seething" this happened to her daughter. She added: "I'm just so angry and I'm so angry at the police's attitude as well. I called 999 and I said my daughter's just been attacked by 20 of them, her head's been bounced on and everything and waited an hour in my friend's car with her all busted up, obviously I wanted to make sure she was safe and cleaned up and stuff so I phone back an hour later and 'there's incidents in front of you', I came home, cleaned her up. "They came at lunchtime on Monday and [the officer] took a statement and he was basically saying 'This happens all the time.' And I'm just like, nah, you know what I'm not having this. "They sent out one officer and it was lovely and all that, don't get me wrong, but basically told me that the chances of anything happening to any of them are slim. I'm so, so angry and I don't know what to do. I'm at the end of my tether." Thankfully Murren suffered only scrapes and bruises, but her mum said she is struggling mentally and was scared to go to the supermarket following the incident due to the crowds. Ashley is worried that she will be affected by this for the rest of her life while the youngsters responsible won't face any consequences. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

She explained: "Every single one of them should be charged and taken in and maybe put away for a couple of months. Like if you do something that serious, where you're going to kick on somebody's head and take their life away from them potentially, you should be seriously, seriously punished. "There's no excuses for that whatsoever. I'm 37 and I have never in my life had to be like that. She's 13 and she is tiny. She's a size 6 and she's only 5 ft. For her to get that and still be walking. It's a miracle and I really do think that they should be charged and it should be on their criminal record for the rest of their life and that they should get three months in a detention centre. I think they should be taught right from wrong. "It's going to take me years to get over this, and Murren may never get over this, she's deeply traumatised, and I just hope one day it never happens to them or their family." Inspector Alan King, from Haddington Police Station, said: 'Around 7.05pm on Sunday, 29 June, 2025, police received a report of the assault of a 13-year-old girl by a group in the Musselburgh area. "No injuries were reported and the caller requested officers attend the following morning, which they did as agreed. Enquiries are ongoing and officers will engage with local schools in due course."

Liverpool's Portuguese forward Diogo Jota dies in car crash in Spain
Two men, aged 28 and 26, were found dead in the car, which burst into flames near Zamora, the capital of the Zamora province, which is in the Castile and Leon region. "We have lost two champions. Their deaths represent irreparable losses for Portuguese football, and we will do everything we can to honour their legacy every day," the Portuguese Football Federation said in a statement. Spanish police told Reuters they could not yet officially confirm the names of the deceased, but everything pointed to it being Jota and his brother. The Lamborghini they were travelling in veered off the road, the spokesperson said. The bodies have been taken to a forensics unit in Zamora, where autopsies will be performed, they said. Who was Diogo Jota? Jota, who got married in June, helped Liverpool win the Premier League last season and also won the FA Cup and League Cup with the Merseyside outfit. Jota and his wife just had their third baby on November 26, according to posts made on Instagram. "He just won the Prem, Nations League, and got married all within a month," wrote one user on Instagram. "And his life has been cut short. RIP" Jota arrived at Anfield, Liverpool's football [soccer] club, from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020 and scored 65 goals in 182 appearances for the club in all competitions. "Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota," the club wrote in a post on X. He also made 49 appearances for Portugal, twice winning the UEFA Nations League.

Doctor 'drowned four-year-old daughter at Airbnb then staged her death'
Doctor Neha Gupta, 36, allegedly orchestrated the drowning of her own daughter Aria during a family trip to South Florida - and now faces a first-degree murder charge A four-year-old girl's tragic death at a Florida holiday rental has now turned into a chilling murder investigation - with her own mother, a pediatrician, accused of staging the scene to look like an accident. Dr Neha Gupta, 36, allegedly orchestrated the drowning of her daughter Aria during a family trip to South Florida, authorities say. The Oklahoma-based doctor was arrested this week in her hometown of Oklahoma City and now faces a first-degree murder charge out of Miami-Dade County. According to an affidavit filed by a homicide detective, Gupta "attempted to conceal the killing of the deceased victim by staging an accidental drowning within the swimming pool" of the Airbnb property in El Portal, just north of Miami. Officials claim she tried to pass the child's death off as a tragic pool accident in the early morning hours of June 27. Gupta allegedly told police that she and Aria were asleep in a bedroom when a strange noise woke her around 3.20am. That's when she claims she noticed the sliding door to the patio was ajar - and moments later, found her daughter face-down in the deep end of the pool. She said she panicked, tried to save the girl, but couldn't swim and was unable to pull her out. Emergency responders rushed to the scene and performed CPR, but the child was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital before sunrise. But detectives were not convinced by Gupta's story. After the incident, she fled Florida and returned to Oklahoma - a move prosecutors now say was an attempt to dodge prosecution. She is currently being held without bond in the Oklahoma County Jail while Florida authorities seek her extradition. A doctor who performed an autopsy at the medical examiner's office did not find water in the child's lungs or stomach, and that "based on these findings she was able to rule out drowning as being the cause of death," the detective wrote. Dr. Tuyet Tran also advised authorities that she believes the child was dead before being placed in the pool, the detective wrote. The cause and manner of death are pending, but Tran found injuries such as bruising within the girl's cheeks. According to Tran, these injuries "are consistent with asphyxiation by smothering," the affidavit states. Police have not revealed any possible motive in the case. The detective noted in the affidavit that Gupta shares custody of the child with her ex-husband, who told detectives that he and his ex-wife are involved in an ongoing custody battle over the girl. The ex-husband also told detectives that he was unaware that Gupta and the child had traveled to South Florida. Based on surveillance video and Airbnb records, investigators determined that Gupta and her daughter were the sole occupants of the rental unit, the affidavit states. Gupta practiced medicine at Oklahoma Children's Hospital, part of the University of Oklahoma's health system, according to records from the Oklahoma Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision. The university's faculty directory showed that she has also been an assistant professor at the university's health sciences center. The University of Oklahoma and its health system released a statement this week saying that Gupta has been "suspended from patient care, given notice of termination, and was no longer seeing patients at the health system as of May 30, 2025." Gupta has also been given a "notice of termination" by the university, the statement said.
