Spanish officials have confirmed that five British people died in wildfires in Almería, after more victims were identified.
Of three people identified on Monday afternoon, one was from the UK. Police had previously identified a British woman, 93, who died in hospital, along with three British people among the first six victims identified through DNA tests and comparisons with relatives.
Thirteen people have died in the fires. The identities of the final three victims were still unconfirmed, with formal identification expected later on Tuesday.
The fires began last Thursday in Los Gallardos, in south-east Spain, and spread to nearby Bédar. They burned thousands of acres and forced people to flee.
