Police “Will Find The Culprit”

The forensic investigation team along with the National Police’s organised crime unit are now hunting for a blond man who entered the bar with a face covering, and fled the scene in a white car heading towards Benalmadena on the N-340. Javier Salas, the central government’s deputy delegate in Malaga, said that they “will find the culprit”. He told reporters that officers are gathering information and evidence from witnesses, along with CCTV recordings from Monaghans bar and other nearby businesses.

Mr. Salas says “I have no doubt that the person responsible for both murders, who arrived and left the pub on foot with his face covered, will be identified and located, as happens in 90% of cases that occur in the province of Malaga.” Police haven’t ruled out the possibilty that more people were involved in planning and carrying out the murders, but confirmed that only one man is responsible for the shootings.
