Moment Scottish gangster chased through his Spanish pub and shot dead
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.

Appeal court decision has raised questions over liabilty claims
Andrew Gilmour expects further guidance will follow as cases addressing the issues proceed Sign up to our daily newsletter – Regular news stories and round-ups from around Scotland direct to your inbox Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Every day, members of the public enter offices, shops, supermarkets, restaurants and gyms. An issue that has arisen of late is how the Scottish courts deal with accidents caused by the condition of something in such premises that is defective. In the case of McCormack v Fitness Limited, the Sheriff Appeal Court provided guidance on how to analyse and determine whether an occupier of premises containing defective items should be liable for such an accident. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It has long been a feature of Scots Law that in certain circumstances, the maxim res ipsa loquitor could apply to an accident. The claimant should establish that the thing which caused damage was under the defender's management and control, and that the accident was of a type that does not ordinarily occur if proper care is taken. An inference of negligence is then accepted only if the defender can offer no explanation consistent with absence of fault on their part. Andrew Gilmour is a Partner, Horwich Farrelly In McCormack, the claimant was injured by a ragged edge on the outer rim of a weight plate in a gym that cut his hand when he tried to place it onto a shoulder press machine. How the damage to the plate occurred was unknown. At first instance, the court decided that res ipsa loquitor applied to the accident circumstances and found for the injured party. The view taken was that the gym owner could not provide a reasonable explanation for how the accident occurred without negligence. The court held the gym owner had exclusive management of the premises, controlling access by way of membership and subscriptions. The owner employed staff on reception and on the gym floor. Seeking to place a weight plate onto a machine should not ordinarily cause injury to a user. There was no evidence of any inspection of the plate on the morning of the accident and no faults were recorded. However, the appeal court decided the court had erred in focusing over the control exerted over the gym premises, rather than the weight plate itself. The court was bound to consider and decide the question in this way, as if there was no control over the thing that caused the accident, then res ipsa loquitor did not apply and liability would not be established. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The court had regard to the well-established observation that the principle only applied where the incident suggests negligence on someone's part and, because of exclusive management and control in the defenders at the time when the negligence occurred, it can be presumed it was the defenders who were negligent. In this case, the free weights and shoulder press machine were not in the exclusive control of the gym. The gym was open to members of the public who had a membership or subscription to use the premises. Those members had free use of the weight plates during the course of their exercise. Therefore, the appeal court overturned the decision and absolved the gym from any liability, as the exclusive management and control over the weight plate had not been established. The decision raises questions about exclusive management and control of items in premises. Does the presence of members of the public mean that few items in the premises could be under such control? When should a claimant seek to establish a case based on a failure to take reasonable care, rather than risking establishing that res ipsa loquitor applies? A number of cases are addressing this issue and no doubt further guidance will follow.

Teen rushed to hopsital in critical condition after incident at Tenerife hotel
A 19-year-old man was pulled from a hotel swimming pool in Arona, Tenerife by a lifeguard after showing signs of drowning, he was rushed to hospital in critical condition for further treatment A teenager has been rushed to hospital in critical condition after an incident at a hotel swimming pool in Tenerife. The horror incident happened on Saturday, July 26 at shortly after 5pm. Emergency services were called to Rafael Puig Lluvina Avenue in Arona following reports a young man was in need of medical assistance. Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC) sent one medicalized ambulance and one basic life support ambulance. Officers from both the national and local police were also in attendance. The emergency call, which was made by a lifeguard at the hotel, suggested a man was in cardiorespiratory arrest and had symptoms of drowning from the pool of a hotel complex. Upon arrival medics found a 19-year-old man unresponsive so SUC personnel continued the CPR begun by the lifeguard. After stabilising the victim, he was evacuated in critical condition and rushed to Hospiten Sur hospital. It is not known if the tenager was a tourist or a local. It comes just days after Stan-Lee Connor, 20, from Birkenhead, died while on holiday in Ibiza with his friends. He had jetted off to the Spanish island with a mate on Tuesday, July 1, for a six-night break but became unwell on his second evening. Stan, as loved ones knew him, was enjoying a night out at Amnesia in San Antonio when he appeared to take ill, his sister Ellie McSherry said. His friend took him back to their accommodation at Aparthotel Vibra Monterrey. But when his friend awoke the next morning, he discovered Stan had passed away. The 20 year old's death is now being investigated by police. In a heartfelt tribute shared with the Liverpool Echo by sisters Ellie and Sally, they said: "We lost our beautiful younger brother and son, Stan-Lee Connor, a kind-hearted soul whose heart overflowed with love, and whose life held so much promise. His sudden and heartbreaking passing in Ibiza at just 20 years old has left an immeasurable void in our lives. "Stan wasn't just our brother, he was the light in our family. He brought warmth, laughter, and kindness wherever he went, and his presence made everything brighter. "Stan was a proud and passionate supporter of Everton Football Club, loyal through every win and every heartbreak. He also found deep comfort in music, especially the timeless sounds of Pink Floyd. Their lyrics became a lifeline, especially after the heartbreaking loss of our dad last year. Music gave Stan strength, and in those melodies, he began to find his way back to peace."

Scots beauty spot compared to 'Skid Row' as rowdy tourists drink and party
The site has been branded 'Skid Row' by furious locals as it has been invaded by tourists who camp beside the water and party through the night A picturesque Scottish site, Loch of Clunie in Perthshire, has been dubbed "Skid Row" as it's been overrun by unruly tourists indulging in alcohol-fuelled parties and criminal activities. The once tranquil spot has suffered from over-tourism in recent years, with party-goers flocking to camp by the water. Local residents have voiced their concerns about antisocial behaviour, including violence and littering. Some visitors have even brought along generators, gazebos and a flatbed truck equipped with its own fresh water supply for camping and outdoor enjoyment. However, the constant blaring of loud music throughout the night and drunken misbehaviour has resulted in locals being subjected to physical and verbal abuse, reports the Scottish Daily Express. Perth and Kinross Council have been accused of not doing enough to discourage troublemakers from wreaking havoc in the scenic area. Reports of nudity and drug use have also surfaced, with campers neglecting to clean up their rubbish after overnight stays. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Local resident Emma Crichton told the BBC: "Earlier this month there was a flatbed truck with a fresh water supply on it for three generations of campers who were there for 10 days with a generator with loud music. "I have people wandering into my garden asking if they can park there, people coming in and asking if they can use my loo. We have people having raves, it's like a music festival. I'm not a shrinking violet. I like a drink and I like loud music, but it's intolerable and I don't feel safe." Rangers have increased patrols in the area, collecting discarded items such as soiled nappies and a hypodermic needle. The locale typically teems with visitors between October or whenever the sun makes an appearance. Ms Crichton criticised the council and police response, stating: "Some of the rangers have been doing the job since before I got there so they know the area well and they're very invested in it. Every time I make a complaint, I'm told there's no law being broken. I cannot accept that." Negative feedback has also appeared on the Loch Clunie Facebook page, including a recent post from a man who visited the loch with his 10 year old daughter. He penned: "It was like Skid Row. Drunks everywhere - one or two being quite aggressive. Rubbish everywhere. Maybe half a dozen cars abandoned with parking tickets on them. Stayed for five minutes and left." Strathtay Councillor Ian James described the situation as an "absolute nightmare" for local residents. He commented that they were "putting up with loud music and drunken behaviour. Although it's a beautiful area, it's just not a nice place to be when it's like that." He alleged that a friend of his had been stabbed after requesting people not to camp in his garden. He added: "If this was Perth city centre, we'd have the police turning up and everybody would be trying their best to stop it, but this is in the countryside so it's unseen by most." A spokesperson for Perth and Kinross Council has stated that the local authority is keen for both visitors and residents to enjoy areas such as Loch of Clunie in a "safe, responsible and courteous manner". The spokesperson further added: "Parking attendants patrol the clearways, issuing guidance and penalty notices as appropriate. "We fully recognise the community's ongoing concerns about repeated incidents of irresponsible camping near residential properties. Given the understandable feelings of vulnerability and anxiety this has caused, we have advised residents not to engage directly with visitors and to report any threatening behaviour to Police Scotland." A representative from Police Scotland said: "We understand the impact anti-social behaviour and disorder has on the local community, and we would like to thank locals who continue to bring these incidents to our attention. Officers continue to work with local partners to address any concerns in the area, and where criminality is established, those responsible will be dealt with appropriately."
