British man questioned in connection with fatal shooting of Irish tourist



An Irishman has been shot dead on the Costa Del Sol in Spain.

John O'Neill, 40, from Coolock in Dublin was gunned down outside a bar in Benalmadena.

Spanish police have detained a British man for questioning.

Police were called to Coco's bar in the tourist resort of Benalmadena in the early hours of this morning, following reports of a shooting.

It is understood a row had broken out and Mr O'Neill was later shot in the stomach.

Nicole Cacho, a reporter with La Opinion Newspaper, says local people in the area raised the alarm.

The father-of-two is understood to have been holidaying in the resort with his girlfriend. It is believed she was in the bar when he was shot outside.

The incident is not believed to be gang-related.

The Department of Foreign Affairs, and the Irish Embassy in Madrid are in contact with Spanish officials about the investigation.
