Man quizzed over death of Irish woman in Spain

A man is to appear before a magistrate in Tenerife today to be questioned about the murder of an Irish woman.

Lisa McConway, a mother of one from Blackrock in Co. Dublin, died on Christmas Eve after being attacked in the Playa de las Americas resort.

It's understood the 28-year-old suffered serious injuries when she was badly beaten at her apartment - she later died in hospital.

Spanish police arrested her Welsh born ex-boyfriend yesterday morning for questioning.

He will appear at a closed hearing before an examining magistrate today who will decide whether or not to press charges.
