The National Police investigates the murder in Marbella of an individual who has been shot in the head at least in what appears to be a new settling of accounts on the Costa del Sol.

Sources close to the case consulted by EL MUNDO have explained that the events have occurred around 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday in Arturo Rubinstein street, just in front of a block of buildings built by Jesús Gil and known as La Lavadora by its shape.

Initial investigations indicate that the crime has been perpetrated by "one or two people", that they have used an " automatic weapon " and that they have fled the scene quickly.

By the way in which they have carried out the murder, the investigators shuffle the hypothesis of the reckoning . A line of work that will be substantiated or discarded based on the information obtained from the identity of the deceased, a man whose official data has not been disclosed and who has received at least one shot to the head.

Witnesses who have contacted 112 and the police have assured that the perpetrators have been two young men wearing summer clothes - shorts and T-shirts - and that they had used a motorcycle to flee the place. The Local Police have recovered a vehicle of these characteristics nearby that still had a hot engine and which was to determine if it has been used by the murderers.

An individual who matched the description of one of the suspects has been intercepted in the vicinity and taken to police offices for identification purposes. However, sources of the National Police have wanted to specify that, until now, no one has been detained in relation to the crime.

This violent death puts the spotlight on Marbella again, after this Costa Rican city has been the scene of some of the homicides and murders that made 2019 the bloodiest year in the province of Malaga. The security forces have worked against the clock and have solved practically all of these cases, most related to drug trafficking and concentrated in the last quarter of the year.

Investigations have confirmed the presence of groups of hitmen who were hired and displaced to carry out their plans. This Tuesday, the Civil Guard offered more details about the arrest of two Britons who gunned down an Englishman in the Riviera del Sol urbanization due to a dispute between gangs.
