Two Spanish men have been remanded in custody over the death of Roofer Stephen Mallon, 49, of Glasgow

Two Spanish men have been remanded in custody over the death of Roofer Stephen Mallon, 49, of Glasgow, allegedly hurled from a 20ft balcony on the Costa del Sol.
Roofer Stephen Mallon, 49, of Glasgow, was attacked as he defended his twin sons on their 17th birthday. He suffered head injuries and died 12 days later.Thirteen people were arrested after the brawl at Competa, near Malaga.Two local men, aged 20 and 22, are being held as manslaughter suspects. Three others were bailed.Five more people have been arrested by the Guardia Civil in connection with the death of Stephen Mallon, who was involved in a fight in Cómpeta and died later after remaining in coma for twelve days. The five new suspects are all aged between 20 and 25 and come from Cómpeta and neighbouring Canillas de Albaida and Archez. The eight detainees, arrested on Wednesday, who are also all aged between 20 and 25, are expected to make statements to a Torrox court today. All of the detainees are thought to have taken part in the brawl on the evening of June 5th. Mallon had been celebrating a birthday with a group of British friends and the clash, in which at least 20 people took part, started on the restaurant terrace. For reasons which the Guardia Civil have yet to establish, the victim fell from a height of five metres. The autopsy showed that his most serious injury, and the one which ultimately caused his death, was a severe blow to his head produced as a result of the fall. He also had bruises on his arms and body which could have been caused by the fight.
Investigators are now trying to find out how the British holidaymaker fell, and the degree of involvement of the participants in the fight. Two versions of events are circulating in Cómpeta: one claims that Mallon was pushed or thrown over the edge of the terrace, and the other says he might have fallen by accident after being hit with a bottle.
