Episode 1081: Hundreds attend funeral of Scottish mobsters shot dead in Fuengirola
•
The funerals of murdered gangland heavies Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr took place in Scotland yesterday as police doubled down on their insistence that their killing had nothing to do with local feuds.
While Spanish police say they have identified and wish to extradite a hitman linked to the rival Daniel’s clan, cops in Glasgow say they have no intelligence to suggest the motive for the murders is the decades old feud.
Nicola speaks with journalist Richard Elias about the deepening mystery around what happened on the Costa Del Sol and how the Kinahan organisation were one of the first to offer their sympathies for the shootings of gang boss Stephen Lyon’s brother and best friend.
