. The video was captured seconds after Lyons Jnr, 46, was gunned down outside the bar. It shows Monaghan, 43, with blood seeping through his white t-shirt from a chest wound, propping himself up on a table before collapsing.

CCTV from the bar showed the gunman - who was dressed in black - chasing Monaghan. Two bystanders, thought to be a waitress and another man in black, can be seen running away from the suspect.

The nurse said: "I got to the first person who was lying on his back on the terrace who I later discovered was Eddie Lyons Jnr. He was clearly dead and had what appeared to be a bullet wound in his chest and one in his abdomen. A bar lady told me there was another one in the bar.

"The other man, Ross, had one shot in his chest, just on the right side. He was lying on the floor and was still alive but his breathing was laboured. He was wearing a white T-shirt and shorts and trainers and he looked younger than 43.

"There was blood everywhere, on the floor and around the service hatch to the kitchen. There was nothing I could do, he wasn't bleeding from his mouth so I just held his hand, stroked his hair and waited for the emergency services."

It is understood Monaghan had an exit wound in his back where the bullet had passed through his body. The nurse said armed police arrived on the scene first who moved him to the recovery position before performing CPR.

Monaghan, who was believed to be the owner of the bar, was a suspect in the 2010 murder of Kevin "Gerbil" Carroll outside in Robroyston, Glasgow. He was charged but the case was later dropped.

Spanish police said on Monday that no arrests have been made. A spokesman said: "The investigation is continuing into the fatal shooting of two men at a pub in Fuengirola, with nothing new at the moment."
