The Guardia Civil yesterday arrested 36-year-old Irishman Tony Armstrong, implying that he was involved with the deaths of two fellow Irishmen whose bodies were uncovered in Catral yesterday. Sources stated that Armstrong had rented the warehouse where the bodies of Shane Coates and Stephen Sugg were discovered yesterday. A forensic examination yesterday appeared to reveal that both men had been shot in the head from a short distance, but several other tests still have to be carried out.
