Businessman Andrew Bush shot in the head

Saturday morning, a British businessman has been shot dead at his home near Estepona,  Málaga, on the Costa del Sol. Andrew Bush ran a number of jewellery businesses, including Andrew Davids in Bristol.

The rich man was 48 years old. He was shot in the head, as he returned to his villa with his British girlfriend. A gun was found beside his body.

The police is suspecting his ex-girlfriend of murder, after his current girlfriend said her competitor was waiting at the property, when they returned from a week's holiday.

Then she immediately called emergency services. His ex girlfriend was seen driving away in one of Bush's cars.

A police source said: "[The police] 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".

A police spokesman confirmed that an investigation is processing, but he was not permitted to give any more details.

The local emergency services said: "We received a call at 2.10 am, 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".

Neighbours said Andrew Bush rented the villa and visited the property only a few times each year. The villa was sealed off and is expected to be examined by experts, during today.

One of Bush's jewellery stores in Bristol was shut, on Sunday with a sign saying it would be closed until Monday.
