Irishman arrested in Spain after bodies find

GARDAÍ were last night gathering information on an Irish man arrested yesterday by Spanish police in connection with the discovery of two bodies, thought to be those of missing Dublin criminals.

Gardaí believe the victims are Shane Coates and Stephen Sugg, leaders of the notorious Westies gang, but are awaiting confirmation.

Coates, 31, and Sugg, 27, from Blanchardstown, north west Dublin, fled to Spain in 2003 to escape gardaí and rival gangs.
