Spanish police chief Pedro Agudo Novo disclosed at a press conference today that the gunman who assassinated Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons was a member of the rival Daniel gang. The murders took place at Monaghan's Irish Bar in Fuengirola after the Champions League final. The suspect was arrested in Liverpool and is now facing extradition to Spain.

Chief Agudo Novo described the suspect as a professional killer and a member of the Daniel gang, which has a history of feuding with the Lyons gang. The suspect meticulously planned the murders and executed them with precision. He managed to escape the scene and flee to the UK before being apprehended.

The police operation to track down the suspect involved cooperation between Spanish and British authorities. The suspect was tracked to Liverpool, where he was planning to flee to a tax haven island. The police believe the suspect acted alone, but the investigation remains open for potential further arrests.

Spanish authorities are working to extradite the suspect, identified as Michael Riley from Merseyside. The investigation revealed that the victims, Monaghan and Lyons Jr, were the intended targets of the assassination. The police are also considering the possibility of revenge attacks and are taking measures to prevent further violence.

The Fuengirola pub murders are part of a series of violent incidents involving criminal gangs on the Costa del Sol. The police are committed to maintaining security in the region and ensuring the safety of residents and visitors.
