Three men aged between 33 and 40 have been arrested in Marbella at the weekend in connection with the brutal beating of a woman who was left unconscious and fighting for her life following the assualt over an alleged stolen watch.

Police confirmed on Sunday May 29 that two of the detainees repeatedly punched and kicked the victim during a sustained attack in Calle Comercio, Puerto Banús, in September 2021, having accused her of stealing a watch. She was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital with "serious injuries" and has since been operated on "several times".

One of the alleged attackers was arrested by the police at the scene and the other two fled in a car before police their eventual arrests last week.

One of trio was arrested as he debarked a flight to Spain from the UK where he "had been hiding all these months", and police caught up with the other suspect in Estepona.

The latter was also subject to a European arrest warrant issued by the UK judicial authorities for firearms and explosives offences, for which he was sentenced to four years in prison.

Two of the detainees have been remanded in prison and the third released with charges.
