Tributes have been paid to a British bar owner who died in Lanzarote after allegedly being pushed down a flight of steps during a fight.

Chris Thomas, 50, died a day after being rushed to hospital following the incident in the early hours of Sunday morning.

A German man aged 46 and described locally as a troublemaker who had reportedly been banned from several bars and pubs in the island resort of Costa Teguise, is in custody.

He was arrested on suspicion of homicide and has been remanded in jail pending an ongoing investigation after appearing before a judge on Monday.

Friends and loved ones described London-born expat Chris as caring, loving and funny in social media tributes today.
