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. 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. Article continues below In August

2017 Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr were both cleared of being involved in a brutal street 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. A series of brutal attacks across

Scotland, including buildings being firebombed, have been caught in recent months, but this violence has 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. Article continues below Police and paramedics were also pictured surrounding

one of the bodies after it was covered under a blanket, while horrified holidaymakers and locals looked on. There are no reports that any arrests have been made yet but cops have setup

roadblocks in the area as an investigation continues. Forensic teams have carried out initial enquiries at the scene to gather evidence.
