Darren O'Flaherty

Spanish police have named the person they want to question in connection with the murder of the Irishman John O’Neill outside Coco’s bar in Benalmádena Costa last Wednesday.

He is 35 year old Darren O’Flaherty, from Kirkby, who is already wanted by police in North Yorkshire in connection with the kidnap of a lorry driver at knifepoint in 2006. He jumped bail in 2008 after being charged with robbery and kidnap.

O’Neill, a father of two, had stepped in between two men having an argument outside the bar over the use of a toilet. He stormed off and returned to the scene with a .38 calibre pistol, with reports saying five shots were fired.

The suspect left the scene, with his wife after the shooting. He faces a charge of murder in Spain for the death of O’Neill, and several counts of attempted murder regarding the other people in the bar at the time.
Europol have extended the search for him.
