A man was shot dead on Tuesday evening while sitting in his car in a residential area of Marbella in what is thought to be a ‘settling of scores’.
The incident happened at around 19:45 on Tuesday evening in urbanisation Las Lomas de Sierra Blanca in Marbella. The man, a 43-year-old and believed to be a Dutch national of North African origin, was apparently sitting in his vehicle, Moroccan registered, when he was shot in the head.
According to witnesses, the man was accompanied by his wife and two children at the time of the incident and although at least ten shots were fired, his family were unscathed.
Two individuals fled the scene in a car.
