Overview

• Two Lyons clan members—Ross Monaghans and Eddie Lyons Jr.—were assassinated at a seaside Fuengirola bar on May 31 by a trained killer from the rival Daniels clan.
• Investigators say the killer executed a meticulously planned escape, traversing Spain, Portugal, and the UK in under 15 hours while evading cameras and altering his appearance.
• Spanish National Police’s UDYCO unit and Britain’s National Crime Agency collaborated to issue an international arrest warrant and apprehend the suspect in Liverpool on June 13.
• The accused has been charged with two counts of murder, membership in a criminal organization, and illegal firearms possession after appearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
• Officials warn the decades-long drug-trade feud between the Lyons and Daniels clans could intensify and spread deeper into Europe following this high-profile attack.
