Drug baron Daniel Smith, 24 - on the run from British police for attempted murder - was with pals at a terrace table when he was shot three times in the face, blowing out his brains and teeth.

But a horrified regular at the Lounge Bar said: "He kept firing at Dan even though he was on the ground. It was horrible."
Minutes earlier Smith had argued with an Irishman who stormed off, snarling: "You wait there - I will be back in a minute." Spanish cops, who suspect a drugs feud, were hunting for the Dublin criminal aged 27.
