A man suspected of murdering two senior figures from a Scottish organised crime group in a Spanish bar has appeared in court in England.

Michael Riley, 44, has been accused by Spanish police of the murders of Ross Monaghan, 43, and Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, at Monaghans Bar in Fuengirola on 31 May.

Mr Riley appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court via videolink from HMP Wandsworth.

His full extradition hearing is expected to be held later this year.

Mr Riley has not been charged and as yet has had no opportunity to respond to allegations made about him by Spanish National Police.

He spoke to confirm his name and date of birth during the brief hearing.

Due to problems with the videolink, Mr Riley is expected to appear in court in person on Friday.

Mr Riley was arrested by Merseyside Police last Friday under an international arrest warrant issued by the Spanish authorities.

Lyons Jnr and Monaghan were watching the Champions League final with friends when they were shot at the beachfront bar.

Lyons Jnr died after he was hit by a single bullet outside the bar.

CCTV showed the gunman pursuing Monaghan inside the pub before shooting him.

Both men were connected to the Lyons crime group based in the west of Scotland.
