GANGLAND ASSOCIATES EDDIE LYONS JUNIOR AND ROSS MONAGHAN WERE KILLED IN THE WAKE OF A SERIES OF SUSPECTED TURF WAR ATTACKS THAT HAVE SWEPT SCOTLAND IN RECENT MONTHS 14:20, 05 Jun 2025

Gangster associates of an infamous kingpin pair shot down in a nighttime assassination have issued a chilling retaliation warning. Eddie Lyons Junior and Ross Monaghan were gunned down by a

masked assailant while watching the Champions League final in Fuengirola, Costa Del Sol on May 30. The pair, aged 46 and 43, have links to the infamous Scottish Lyons clan, which police have

linked to a series of assaults, firebombings and shootings across Edinburgh and Glasgow, alongside the rival Daniel gang. A series of threats have been issued since the shock incident

alerting "everyone in Scotland" to plans for a major reprisal. READ MORE: Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons murders spark fears gangland war will explode in UK The Daily Mail reports

the assassinations over the weekend followed attacks believed to have targeted the criminal empire of two Daniel family members, Mark Richardson, an alleged cocaine trafficker, and his

associate Steven "Bonzo" Daniel. Associates of the Lyons have reportedly jumped into action with cocaine dealer Ross "Miami" McGill after Richardson's associates

pinched a £500,000 drugs stash. The feud has exploded from there, and, following the assassination, warnings of incoming reprisals have been peppered across social media. Social media posts

have called on people associated with the Daniels and Richardsons to "leave Scotland immediately", while others have attempted to call Scots to arms. Article continues below One

social media threat read: "Daniels + Richardsons, every associate, every business will be targeted. Leave Scotland immediately." Another post read: "We are urging everyone in

Scotland on the streets and those incarcerated to join us in the fight against Mark Richardson and the Daniels family. "These rats have been thieving for a long time. Its time for

people to stand together as one and remove this vermin from our streets." One video posted online showed a series of attacks being carried out on Richardson associates to the tune of

the song "Nowhere to run" by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. While the situation appears to have been snowballing in the days following Lyons Junior and Monaghan's killing,

police do not believe the assassination was ordered from Scotland. A spokesperson for Police Scotland said there is "no intelligence" suggesting their deaths were related to the

"criminal attacks" reported in Scotland. Article continues below The spokesperson said: "Police Scotland is supporting Spanish police where requested, however, at this time we

have no officers deployed within Spain. There is currently no intelligence to suggest the deaths of these two men in Spain are linked to the recent criminal attacks in Scotland being

investigated as part of Operation Portaledge. "Any misinformation or speculation linking the events in Spain are not helpful to the ongoing investigations in either country. There is

also nothing to suggest that the shooting in Fuengirola was planned from within Scotland."
