Peter Christley, 58, was blasted four times at point-blank range on his doorstep in what police believe was a bungled gangland hit.

BRITISH expat was left fighting for life after being shot in Spain – in a possible case of ­mistaken identity.
Peter Christley, 58, was blasted four times at point-blank range on his doorstep in what police believe was a bungled gangland hit.
Neighbours near the Benalmadena ­resort on the Costa del Sol found Mr Christley slumped in a pool of blood. He was taken to ­hospital in Malaga where doctors ­had to remove two ­bullets from his ­intestines.
Mr Christley, who is on a ventilator, is thought to have been renting his house for six years.
A police source added: “He was shot twice in the stomach then, we believe, in the buttock and leg as he turned to flee. The victim has no convictions in Spain but we are looking into the ­possibility this was a revenge attack linked to organised crime. However it is possible this man was the victim of mistaken identity and has no links to organised crime.”
Mr Christley is the second Brit this month to survive a shooting in the area, known as the Costa del Crime. Fitness firm chief Thomas Farrell, 54, was blasted in the face on January 3.
