Police are hunting for a woman who is thought to have shot dead a British businessman at his home on Spain's Costa del Sol.
The wealthy jeweller, named locally as Andrew Bush, was found lying in a pool of blood with two gunshot wounds to his head around 3am on Saturday morning.
Firefighters and police discovered the businessman's body after forcing their way into the beachside villa where he lived.
The businessman's girlfriend alerted police with an emergency call after the attack, which happened in a village between the resorts of Estepona and Marbella.
The pair are said to have been ambushed by a woman, who police suspect may be the man's ex-girlfriend.
She is thought to have been lying in wait for them inside the five-bedroom house.
Mr Bush, originally from Bristol, and his current girlfriend were returning to their home from a trip abroad together at the time.
The house is a village between the resorts of Estepona and Marbella The unnamed girlfriend, who is said to be British, told investigators she saw the attacker flee and then called the emergency services after becoming locked out.
Early on Sunday, the killer was still on the run after escaping from the scene in her alleged victim's Hummer car.
Police are yet to officially name of the victim, but he was locally identified as 48-year-old company director Mr Bush.
An Audi car believed to have been used by the attacker was taken away along with a Porsche and Ferrari thought to be owned by the victim.
A gun found nearby was also taken away.
It has emerged Mr Bush's killer may have been inside the house for several days after letting herself into the villa with a set of keys she had kept.
Estepona is on the Costa del Sol Detectives sealed off the villa, owned by a Spanish couple, on Saturday ahead of its examination by police forensic experts on Monday.
A source close to the investigation said: "It is being treated as murder and police are hunting the dead man's ex on suspicion of committing this crime.
"They are probing the possibility she may have let herself into the property while the occupant was away and waited for several days for him to return."
The businessman's body has been taken to Malaga for a post-mortem examination.
A family relative is believed to be en route to southern Spain.
The victim's terracotta-coloured villa lies in a quiet residential street in an area called Cancelada between San Pedro and Estepona.
A National Police spokesman confirmed an investigation was underway but said he was not authorised to give out any more information.
A spokesman for the local emergency services said: "We received a call at 2.10am on Saturday morning from the partner of the dead man because she could not gain access to the property.
"Firefighters managed to get in and found the man lying dead inside with a gunshot wound to his head. Police are now investigating."

"We are in touch with local authorities and are providing consular assistance to the family."
