Police investigating the death of a Scots holidaymaker on the Canary Islands have rearrested a man.

The 31-year-old from the enclave of Melilla, on the north coast of Africa, was arrested on Thursday. Police can hold him for 72 hours.

Brian Hobbs, 52, from Cambuslang near Glasgow, was kicked to death by two men in a bar in Fuerteventura on the first night of his holiday two weeks ago.

The man arrested was first questioned by police two days after the attack.

His brother was also arrested and released.
