Driver Murder

A BOLT driver has been stabbed to death by a customer in Fuengirola.. The victim, who worked for a private hire vehicle company similar to Uber or Cabify, had picked up the alleged murderer in the early morning.

The far-right podcaster - who had been on the run in Spain with his wife and three children when he committed his offences in 2021 - also spent time in Dubai.

The neo-Nazi, from Liverpool, had originally been stopped under the Terrorism Act and fled an arrest warrant two years before his arrest in Spain.

Kearney, 39, pleaded guilty admitting he wanted to ‘spread fascist views’, but denied he shared the material on Telegram with the intention of causing terror attacks. Judge Richard Marks KC doubted this, insisting his ‘fanaticism’ in achieving his objectives meant he ‘intended for acts of terrorism to happen’. He sentenced him to four years and eight months.

He has been ordered to pay $794,000 the amount he received from his scam.

“Two years later, it’s still hard to understand how harmless gaming led to this,” Sandra told the court. “I am realistic that I have played a significant role in Joseph’s actions but ultimately, it is he who must take the responsibility.

“The effects of this naive, thoughtless boy have had devastating consequences, not just to him but to us all, and Joseph needs to lead an exemplary life from here on in and atone.”
