MARBELLA (BBC) James Tomkins, 61, was arrested in Marbella by Spanish authorities over the drive-by murder of electrician Rocky Dawson, 24, in Hornchurch, Essex, in May 2006. Mr Dawson was shot dead outside his parent's home as he was putting his two children into his car. Mr Tomkins is due in court in Madrid on Friday for extradition proceedings. He was captured in the coastal town of Puerto Banus after armed plain-clothes officers and uniformed police from Madrid and Malaga raided an address. The fugitive attempted to escape by jumping out of the window but was tracked by air support and arrested by officers on the ground. Officers have not been able to find the motive behind the killing. A reward of £20,000 for information had been offered.
