A British holidaymaker has died after allegedly being hit with a rock during a fight at a hotel swimming pool.
Alan Atkinson, 48, and his partner were involved in a row with another British couple at the Blue Sea Los Fiscos aparthotel in Puerto del Carmen, in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The Civil Guard police force arrested the other couple following the fight at the three-star Lanzarote hotel.
Mr Atkinson was taken unconscious by ambulance to the Doctor Jose Molina Orosa hospital in Arrecife but doctors were not able to save his life.
An autopsy was due to be carried out today to establish the cause of death.

"We are also aware of the arrests of two British nationals and we are providing them with consular assistance."
