Overview

  • A masked gunman arrived in a car outside Monaghans Bar in Fuengirola on June 1 before opening fire on Eddie Lyons Junior, 46, and Ross Monaghan, 43, killing both at the scene.
  • Spanish National Police, with support from Police Scotland, have launched an ongoing homicide investigation but have not made any arrests in connection with the double shooting.
  • Police Scotland has stated there is no intelligence linking the Fuengirola killings to the Operation Portaledge criminal attacks in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
  • Relatives of Ross Monaghan have publicly ruled out the Daniels family’s involvement and indicated that a foreign crime gang may be responsible for the executions.
  • The slayings occur against the backdrop of a decades-long feud between the Lyons and Daniels clans and recent gang violence in Scotland that has led to more than 40 arrests under Operation Portaledge.
