Spanish police have arrested one of Britain's most wanted fugitives, sought for his suspected role in the murder of a teenager.
British police believe David Ungi, 30, was involved in the fatal shooting in 2015 in Liverpool of Vinny Waddington, 18, while he was riding a motorcycle.
Mr Ungi, who is also wanted in connection with heroin trafficking, left Britain less than 24 hours after Waddington was killed, British authorities said.
Two other men were convicted in 2016 of Waddington's murder.
Spanish police said Ungi was arrested with three other British men in the town of Coin near the southern resort of Marbella on May 5 as they entered a gym at a shopping centre.
Officers seized a firearm from a rucksack being carried by one of the men, Spain's National Police said.
A search of Mr Ungi's residence in Coin turned up a machinegun and two other firearms as well as "abundant ammunition", 15 kilograms of cocaine and 19kg of hashish, they said.
Spanish police said the operation was carried out in co-operation with Britain's National Crime Agency, which had put Mr Ungi on its most wanted list.
The Spanish coast has long a popular bolthole for British criminals fleeing the law because they can blend easily into large expatriate communities.
There are about 290,000 British nationals officially registered as living in Spain, making them the fourth-largest foreign population in the country, the national statistics institute INE said.
Some of Darwish's last words
"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008
His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.

Day 2, Dubai Test: At a glance
Moment of the day Pakistan’s effort in the field had hints of shambles about it. The wheels were officially off when Wahab Riaz lost his run up and aborted the delivery four times in a row. He re-measured his run, jogged in for two practice goes. Then, when he was finally ready to go, he bailed out again. It was a total cringefest.
Stat of the day – 139.5 Yasir Shah has bowled 139.5 overs in three innings so far in this Test series. Judged by his returns, the workload has not withered him. He has 14 wickets so far, and became history’s first spinner to take five-wickets in an innings in five consecutive Tests. Not bad for someone whose fitness was in question before the series.
The verdict Stranger things have happened, but it is going to take something extraordinary for Pakistan to keep their undefeated record in Test series in the UAE in tact from this position. At least Shan Masood and Sami Aslam have made a positive start to the salvage effort.
