A tragic incident unfolded in Puerto Banus, a popular holiday spot on the Costa del Sol, leading to the death of a man who was allegedly thrown into the sea from a boat and abandoned. The incident occurred today around midday, with witnesses reporting that the victim, believed to be around 30 years old, was left near a fuel station by the occupants of a high-powered boat before they sped away. Emergency services arrived at the scene and pronounced the man dead.

While initial reports suggested the man was thrown into the sea near the filling station, later information indicated that there were no apparent signs of physical assault on the victim. The National Police and Civil Guard responded to the scene, where the victim’s body was recovered and taken to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Malaga for further investigation.

Authorities have not ruled out the possibility that the incident may be linked to a drugs-related dispute, considering the history of shootings and criminal activities in the area. Recent events, including the shooting of a Swedish rapper in broad daylight and a police raid involving a Manchester City footballer, have raised concerns about safety in Puerto Banus and its surroundings.

In light of the escalating violence, public figures like Kerry Katona have expressed concerns about the security situation in the region, with some opting against relocating to the Costa del Sol due to safety fears. The local police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the latest tragic incident in the holiday resort.
