Scots Gangland Figures Receive Double Funeral After Costa Del Sol Murders

A joint funeral was held in Bishopbriggs, Scotland, for Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan, two prominent figures linked to the Lyons crime group, who were shot dead in a targeted assassination at Monaghan's bar in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol. The attack, carried out by a lone gunman identified as Michael Riley from Liverpool, occurred shortly after the Champions League final and is believed to be linked to a long-running violent feud between the Lyons and Daniel crime families. Despite Spanish police connecting the killings to the Daniel group, Scottish authorities have stated there is no conclusive evidence linking the murders to the feud. The funeral was attended by hundreds of mourners amid tight security, with emotional tributes and a procession of luxury vehicles, while many mourners braved heavy rain outside the packed crematorium. Both men had survived previous assassination attempts linked to the feud, and Monaghan had relocated to Spain following an earlier shooting. Michael Riley was arrested in the UK and is fighting extradition to Spain, with a hearing scheduled for October.
