A SCOTS tourist died trying to defend his teenage sons from a savage attack by a Spanish mob, a court heard yesterday.
Stephen Mallon was pushed off a 13ft ledge after he stepped in to protect the two boys and two friends from a mob, prosecutors claimed.
The 49-year-old roofer, from Rutherglen, near Glasgow, died later in hospital in June 2009 from a fractured skull he sustained in the mountain village of Competa, near the Costa del Sol.
He had been celebrating the 17th birthdays of his twin sons, Carl and Peter, at La Estrella Disco Bar when a fight erupted.
The Mallon twins claimed in court they were attacked simply because they were British.
Fifteen Spaniards are being tried at a court in Malaga. Jose Jimenez Martin denies homicide, Luis Romero Allsop and Juan Ortega Gonzalez deny assault with a dangerous weapon and 12 others deny affray.
