A British man has been shot dead on the Costa Blanca in the latest of a series of violent crimes that have rocked the popular holiday coastline.

The 29-year-old’s bullet-riddled body was found in a house just north of the popular tourist resort of Torrevieja.

Acting on a tip from friends that ‘something serious’ happened to him on December 21, police found his bloodied body after going to the property.
