Irishman (58) arrested for attempted murder of John George acquaintance in Spain
The victim was approached from behind while urinating next to an electrical transformer and stabbed in the neck with a box cutter A 58-year-old Irishman has been arrested in Spain for the attempted murder of another Irish national who had previously been named as having knowledge about the murder of John George. Dan McMeekin (29) was viciously attacked with a box-cutter knife in the Costa Orihuela area of the Costa Blanca last month. He had to undergo emergency surgery at Torrevieja University Hospital to save his life after he was stabbed in the neck with a box cutter while he was going to the toilet. McMeekin previously posted a video online in which he said he should have contacted the family of John George before the 37-year-old was murdered, A 58-year-old man, described as an Irish national, was arrested by the Civil Guard for attempted murder on June 30 and brought before a Spanish court this week. Spanish police have claimed the arrested man has previous convictions for 'homicide' and drug dealing. McMeekin was viciously attacked in the early hours of June 15 on a sealed-off street near a small shopping centre in La Zenia. The stabbing suspect is led away by Spanish police News in 90 Seconds - July 10th It is believed McMeekin was knifed after being approached from behind while urinating next to an electrical transformer. The attacker inflicted a deep cut on his neck with the box cutter blade. Having interviewed the victim, officers were able to identify the suspect, although he had left his home days earlier and his whereabouts were unknown. However, a police patrol from Orihuela Costa managed to locate the suspect in a local park on June 30. After confirming his identity with the support of the Pilar de la Horadada Judicial Police Team, he was arrested. According to the news site, as the suspect was not carrying any ID however, Spanish police sought the help of Irish authorities who provided a fingerprint check. This confirmed that he has a criminal record in Ireland for serious crimes, including homicide with a firearm and drug trafficking. Having been charged with attempted murder, he was brought before Orihuela Court of Instruction No 3 which ordered his provisional release with a restraining order against the victim. McMeekin, from West Belfast, was attacked in the early hours of Sunday, in La Zenia, near Torrevieja. Despite local news reports stating there were 'pools of blood' found at the scene of the early morning attack, McMeekin survived the shocking incident and has been recovering in hospital. It has also been reported in the press in Spain that the authorities have revealed McMeekin told them he knew who had stabbed him but that he would not be telling them. John George and Dan McMeekin They also revealed McMeekin has a criminal record and it's well known he has a series of convictions for domestic abuse against a former partner. McMeekin, who is known to be extremely vulnerable due to substance abuse issues, became a target of social media trolls and amateur investigators after the murder of John George. McMeekin knew John George well and was in a bar in Spain where it's claimed a plan was hatched to attack the Belfast man who was later found murdered. The father of two was shot and his body left in a rural area in the Alicante region around December 14 although it wasn't discovered for several weeks. Supporters of John George and his family believe Dan McMeekin has information relevant to the investigation. However, he has never been arrested or charged with anything. McMeekin posted a video to his Facebook page back in January where he was visibly upset and appeared to be high on drugs or drink. He was responding to wild speculation on social media and named one TikToker who he felt was not telling the truth about him and what he knew or didn't know about John George. Slurring his words, he says: 'I am doing my best to help in so many ways... I am guilty, guilty of not telling the family sooner. I am vulnerable, this is breaking me, I have a heart, I do. 'The truth will be told, what I know is fact. It's been a hard time, I have helped. There's a lot of yous who don't know about the good I have done so stop going by social media and stop jumping to conclusions. 'I know what the family is going through, please stop jumping to conclusions, I am helping.' In January Belfast lawyers acting for the family of John George named Dan McMeekin as being one of two men who was due to appear in court in Spain – not as suspects but to tell the court what they knew about the lead-up to the murder. Two weeks after John George's body was found, Belfast legal firm KRW Law said on January 31: 'We can confirm that summonses have issued for the attendance of two persons to answer enquiries in relation to the murder of Mr George. We have been in touch with the authorities in connection with this latest development. 'We understand that each person was originally due to appear at the designated Preliminary Court sitting in Torrevieja, Spain on Wednesday, January 29, 2025 at 9.30am but are now expected to appear on Friday, January 31 in the same court. 'We are advised the two specified persons are identified as Michael Maly and Daniel Anthony McMeekin. 'The family now face an anxious wait to learn what each individual has to say. They are calling upon them to take what they say as 'a final chance to come clean' on the lead-up to and the circumstances surrounding their son's murder before Christmas last year...' Czech national Michael Maly was later arrested and appeared in court as a murder suspect but was released on bail and has yet to be charged with any offence. Jonny Smyth and Madison Allen Meanwhile 27-year-old Newtownabbey man Jonny Smyth was eventually arrested in Portugal having gone on the run before being extradited back to Spain where he has also been named as a suspect and held on remand in prison – but like Maly has not yet been charged with any offence. Sources say Jonny Smyth had helped Dan McMeekin after finding him in Spain in a bad way on drugs. But Smyth turned on Dan and gave him a beating after it's claimed he found Dan doing cocaine in the apartment Smyth shared with his partner – now wife – Madison. McMeekin has been in jail back home in Northern Ireland several times and was convicted of a number of nasty domestic abuse offences.

OnlyFans wife of John George murder suspect under death threat
Teen falsely accused of covering up John George killing tells police of plot Madison Smyth, wife of Jonny Smyth who is in jail in Spain in connection with the murder of John George A young woman who has been falsely accused of covering up the murder of John George has called in the cops after she was told she would be murdered. Madison Smyth – the wife of Newtownabbey man Jonny Smyth who's currently being held in Spain in connection with the December murder – has been made aware of a sick plot where she would be murdered and her death would be made to look like suicide. Friends of the 19-year-old, who is living in Alicante while her husband awaits a decision from the Spanish judicial system as to whether he'll be charged or not, say she was made aware of a plot where her would-be killers were tracking her movements by her mobile phone. She's also been the subject of shocking false claims this week by online trolls including a completely untrue allegation that she raped Belfast man Dan McMeekin. Madison Allen Last week we revealed how McMeekin was stabbed and seriously injured in Spain months after he was accused of having been aware that the 37-year-old father-of-two was going to be attacked but failed to inform him or the family. While McMeekin was stabbed, he was not subjected to any sex attack at any point. In the aftermath of that story sick messages and threats were posted to Madison on social media. In one twisted message, an anonymous account claimed Madison had already been 'got'. And they went on to state: 'Give it a few hours that wee girl that tracks n clones phones got her ya heard it here first.' And it continues: 'Keep watching it will be made to look like suicide and let her lies die with her karma is the biggest bitch and she deserves what she's heyyinf (sic)'. Dan McMeekin was stabbed two weeks ago on the Costa Blanca And an account later posts a shocking and completely unfounded claim that Madison 'raped' Dan McMeekin. The account writes: 'After John was Murdered Dan Mc was beat and how little miss daddy issues removed his trousers and boxers and RAPED him with a kitchen roll holder? It's all on video and as the saying goes what doesn't come out in the wash comes out in the rinse.' Last night the PSNI confirmed they were investigating the online abuse following a complaint. A spokesperson said: 'Police in Antrim received a report of malicious communications on Monday, 23rd June. Enquiries are on-going.' A friend of Madison's told the Sunday World: 'Madison is devastated with this latest nonsense and has taken the threat seriously and changed her phone and called the cops. Madison is allowed conjugal visits with husband Jonny Smyth 'They have also posted online that she raped Dan McMeekin, It's completely sick. Madison was a friend of Dan's and tried to help him when he was struggling. 'Both her and Jonny's mum Dawn have had nothing but abuse and lies about how they were somehow involved in covering up John George's murder. 'The Spanish police have made it clear they aren't interested in either of them as having anything to do with the murder of John George. 'Madison is just gutted that this keeps going on and just wants the truth to come out so people can see. 'The allegations are bizarre – from Dawn cleaning up a murder scene and laundering criminal money to Madison raping Dan. It's complete madness. John George was murdered in Spain 'They seem to want to keep it all in the public eye but Dawn and Madison have never been suspects in what happened to John George. 'It's got nothing to do with them. Jonny and Michael Maly (the other suspect) are grown men so whatever happened let the court sort it out.' As revealed here previously, Dawn Smyth and members of Madison's family have issued legal proceedings against a number of people accusing them of harassment. Dawn's house has been targeted in an arson attack and a car was also set alight at her Ballyclare home, while pipe bombs were left near her home and near a property connected to Madison Smyth's family. Two weeks ago Dan McMeekin, who has battled drug and alcohol addiction for years, was stabbed in a late night attack on the Spanish coast. The 29-year-old – who has admitted online he should have contacted the family of John George before the 37-year-old was murdered – was viciously attacked with a knife in the Costa Orihuela area of the Costa Blanca. Madison Smyth made tens of thousands of pounds from her OnlyFans account, where subscribers pay £12 a month for uncensored adult content According to reports in Spain McMeekin, a self-confessed drug addict, was attacked in the early hours of Sunday, June 15 in La Zenia, near Torrevieja. Despite local news reports stating there were 'pools of blood' found at the scene of the early morning attack, he survived the shocking incident and was recovering in hospital. It has also been reported in press in Spain that the authorities have revealed McMeekin told them he knew who had stabbed him but that he would not be telling them.

Madison Smyth, wife of Jonny Smyth who is in jail in Spain in connection with the murder of John George Today's News in 90 Seconds - June 30th Last month it emerged Madison Smyth had got married to her caged partner Jonny Smyth in a secret wedding in Gibraltar. Jonny and Madison, who used to make tens of thousands of pounds from streaming their steamy sessions on OnlyFans, are entitled to conjugal visits which last three hours.

Influencer accused of harassing mum of John George murder suspect ignores court
Ash Mac as she goes by on social media – was a leading campaigner in the search for 37-year-old John George. This is the woman accused of harassing the mother of John George murder suspect Jonny Smyth but who has failed to turn up to court. Ashling MacCarthy is listed in court papers alongside the murder victim's father Billy George and his brother Darren – all three are accused of harassing Dawn Smyth. MacCarthy – or Ash Mac as she goes by on social media – was a leading campaigner in the search for 37-year-old John George after he went missing in Spain in the middle of December. John George disappeared in December in the Alicante area. His remains were found in January following extensive appeals from the family and friends who travelled out to search for his body. John George The father of two was shot and his body was left in a rural area in the Alicante region around December 14 but his body wasn't discovered for several weeks. Back in Belfast, Ashling MacCarthy — a mum of two from Dunmurry — started up fundraisers for the George family campaign, including selling £20 T-shirts with pictures of John's face and a GoFundMe page which raised tens of thousands of pounds. She's pictured at protests in Belfast alongside James Burns – a convicted woman beater who was recently released from prison for turning up to hospital with a hammer which he said he had as he feared he would be attacked by Muslims. But MacCarthy has repeatedly accused Dawn Smyth on social media of being involved in covering up the murder of John George — something the Spanish police have completely discounted. Jonny Smyth And despite being fully aware of the proceedings against her, Ashling has failed to attend any of the hearings so far or had legal representation there on her behalf. Earlier this week John's father Billy George was listed to appear at the civil court at Laganside and, as reported here previously, Mr George, along with his other son Darren who's also facing the same allegation, have said they will fight the harassment claims vigorously. All three named defendants are subject to an interim injunction banning them from 'harassing' Dawn Smyth in any way. But the court heard on Tuesday that while the Georges were engaged with the proceedings, Ashling MacCarthy had not engaged in any form despite receiving the necessary court documents. The court was also told about a pipe bomb attack on the home of Dawn Smyth at the end of April. The Sunday World contacted Dawn Smyth once again about the proceedings but she said she did not want to comment. Proof that Ashling MacCarthy is fully aware of the legal case against her is shown by the fact she has posted on social media about it — laughing about it and saying it won't keep her silent. In fact in one post she says she has 'all the time to go to court' but so far has not attended one hearing. Dawn Smyth This week the court heard how Billy George had submitted a replying affidavit to the allegations but more time was needed for his son Darren to file similar. But when the third named defendant was mentioned — Ashling MacCarthy — the court was told they had nothing from her and if she continued to refuse to engage, a final order might be made against her in her absence. She sold T-shirts and helped raise money for the George family but she also relentlessly targeted Dawn Smyth and Jonny's partner Maddison Allen. On social media she repeatedly accused Dawn and Maddison of being involved in covering up the murder of John George without ever showing any evidence to back up her wild claims. Billy George, who campaigned for justice for his son John, is also facing a similar harassment case taken by Carly Allen, the mother of Jonny Smyth's partner Maddison Allen. Speaking in advance of the injunction harassment cases, he said: 'I welcome the chance to meet these groundless allegations head on. They've been taken to try and intimidate me. 'Not only will they fail to do that but it will give me a chance to raise my own concerns. I feel emboldened by this latest attempt to stop me getting justice for my son. 'I really think the people behind this litigation may well rue the day they decided to take me on in court.' His legal representatives KRW Law added: 'He wants to make it clear there is absolutely no basis for what he sees are completely vexatious proceedings. 'He feels strongly that they have been taken as part of a concerted plan to try and stop him seeking the truth about his son's murder.'
