Man linked to John George murder found shot dead in Alicante

A suspect in the murder of Belfast man John George has been shot dead in Alicante in Spain in what police believe was an assassination.

Czech national Michael Maly led police to the remains of father of two John George in December 2024 after he’d gone missing during a drug fuelled holiday on the Costa Blanca.

Maly was a suspect along with fellow Belfast man Johnny Smyth in the killing of George who was stabbed in the legs and then shot before his body was dumped under a lemon tree in a remote area outside the tourist hotspot.

Maly was expected to give evidence in any upcoming trials in Spain.

Nicola speaks to journalist Steven Moore who broke the story.
