A 37-year-old man has been remanded in custody following the brutal murder of another man on the Costa del Sol.
The victim, a homeless man in his 40s, was punched and kicked to death after interrupting an attempt to steal his belongings as he slept on a Malaga beach. Spanish police said the man had been sleeping in La Malagueta, a busy tourist area during daylight hours which has now become a place where homeless people gather at night.
The incident happened on March 12, but details of the man’s nationality are only emerging now. It’s believed he was originally from Cork and had such severe head injuries that officers initially believed he had been battered with a rock, Belfast Live reports.
