Woman who saw brit gangsters shot dead outside costa del sol bar speaks out

ROSS MONAGHAN AND EDDIE LYONS JNR WERE KILLED 07:40, 03 Jun 2025 A British nurse has recalled the harrowing moment she held the hand of a Scottish gangster as he succumbed to his injuries

after being shot in a chilling double murder on the Costa del Sol. The nurse, in her 50s, was having drinks with her partner at a bar nearby when gunmen opened fire, killing Ross Monaghan

and Eddie Lyons Jnr in front of shocked holidaymakers. The attack took place at Monaghans bar in Fuengirola, around 11.30pm on Saturday, just as the Champions League final ended. Choosing to

stay anonymous, the nurse described how she reacted when she heard the sound of gunfire: "I was sitting with my partner in a pub when we heard one shot followed by a gap and then four

more shots. "We all ran into the bar and I was shouting 'get inside'." "At the time they were celebrating the football because the game had just ended. Someone said

a person had been shot and because I'm a nurse I ran to Monaghans bar to see if I could help." Article continues below Spanish TV has since aired distressing footage showing

Monaghan trying to flee from his attacker. Recorded seconds after the shooting of Lyons Jnr, 46, outside the establishment, it captures a wounded Monaghan, 43, attempting to keep himself

upright at a table before collapsing, his white T-shirt stained with blood. CCTV images from the scene revealed the gunman, clad in black, in pursuit of Monaghan. Two bystanders, thought to

be a waitress and another man in black, can be seen running away from the suspect, reports the Mirror. The nurse said: "I got to the first person who was lying on his back on the

terrace who I later discovered was Eddie Lyons Jnr. He was clearly dead and had what appeared to be a bullet wound in his chest and one in his abdomen. A bar lady told me there was another

one in the bar. "The other man, Ross, had one shot in his chest, just on the right side. He was lying on the floor and was still alive but his breathing was laboured. He was wearing a

white T-shirt and shorts and trainers and he looked younger than 43. "There was blood everywhere, on the floor and around the service hatch to the kitchen. There was nothing I could do,

he wasn't bleeding from his mouth so I just held his hand, stroked his hair and waited for the emergency services." It is understood Monaghan had an exit wound in his back where

the bullet had passed through his body. The nurse said armed police arrived on the scene first who moved him to the recovery position before performing CPR. Monaghan, who was believed to be

the owner of the bar, was a suspect in the 2010 murder of Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll outside in Robroyston, Glasgow. He was charged but the case was later dropped. Article continues

made. A spokesman said: "The investigation is continuing into the fatal shooting of two men at a pub in Fuengirola, with nothing new at the moment." _JOIN THE MANCHESTER EVENING
