Two Brits killed in Costa del Sol shooting named as infamous Scottish gangstersThe horror shooting of two British men at an Irish bar on the Costa del Sol in Spain this weekend is believed
to be linked to an ongoing brutal gang war in ScotlandCommentsNewsElizabeta Ranxburgaj and Ryan Thom14:16, 01 Jun 2025Updated 14:31, 01 Jun 2025 Two Scottish gangsters were killed in a
horror shooting at an Irish bar in a popular Costa del Sol holiday resort. Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr were killed after masked men stormed the Monaghans bar in Fuengirola on Saturday
night in front of horrified tourists.
The incident occurred in the busy bar just moments after the end of last night's Champions League final. The gunman reportedly jumped out of a vehicle and fired rounds at the bar's entrance,
killing the two gangsters. Daily Record reports the bar is owned by Ross Monaghan, a member of the notorious Lyons Glasgow crime family. Monaghan fled Scotland in 2017 after he was shot at
twice while dropping his child off at primary school in Glasgow.
Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr were both gunned down at the bar in Spain Monaghan was cleared of the murder of notorious Glasgow hood Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll, who was shot dead in a
brutal gangland assassination in Asda Robroyston carpark in 2010.
Monaghan was tried for the killing, but was acquitted in May 2012 after it emerged there was no evidence which placed him at the Asda store at the time of the shooting.

attack on three men outside the Campsie bar in Bishopbriggs. The ambush left one of the victims' ears hanging off. He walked free after prosecutors withdrew charges against him and three
others.
The shooting in Spain comes amid a violent gang war that has ripped through Scotland since March, which is believed to have started over a fallout over drugs. It is believed Saturday night's
shooting was linked to these ongoing gang clashes.

appeared to have gone abroad too.
Disturbing images taken at the scene of the shooting in Spain, which happened at around 11.30pm, show a lifeless body on the ground. Authorities in Spain say the first victim was shot in the
chest and the second in the chest and abdomen. A third person was injured after being hit by the bullets, but their condition has not been disclosed.
