Andrew Bush was shot three times by Mayka Kukucova.

A millionaire jeweller was murdered by his ex-girlfriend when he returned home with a new partner, an inquest has ruled five years after his death.

Businessman Andrew Bush, 48, had jetted out to his Spanish villa in April 2014 with a new girlfriend.

When they arrived, they found his former girlfriend Mayka Kukucova, then 26, waiting in his bed.

Bush told his new partner Maria Korotaeva, 20, to go to the car and phone the police, after the Slovakian swimwear model ex refused to leave.

But, after an argument broke out between Bush and his ex-partner, Miss Korotaeva heard three gunshots - and later found her partner in a pool of blood.

Kukucova was jailed in May 2016 for 15 years but had her sentence reduced the following year to 13 years imprisonment.

Coroner Dr Peter Harrowing said that Mr Bush's inquest had been triggered by the jeweller's body finally being taken back to the UK earlier this year - five years after his death.

The coroner said: "On April 5, 2014, at 00.30, Mr Bush arrived at his house in Malaga, Spain, with his new partner. Inside the house was Mayka Kukucova.

The villa in Spain where Mr Bush was shot.

"Mr Bush invited his ex-girlfriend to leave, and when she would not, he told his current girlfriend to return to the car and call the police.

"No call was made to police at that time. Mr Bush's partner then heard an argument between Mr Bush and Miss Kukucova.

"This was interrupted when he came outside to speak with her for a few minutes.

"On his return inside the house, Miss Kukucova was waiting and unexpectedly made use of a firearm, with which she shot Mr Bush up to three times, moved by a desire to end his life.

"Mr Bush did not have the possibility of reacting to defend himself.

"The first shot was to his left arm, from a distance of 1.5 metres. The other two were to his head.

"Miss Kukucova then left the scene. She was subsequently arrested and placed on trial and found guilty of murder.

"I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that I can record a conclusion of unlawful killing," Dr Harrowing added.

Maria Korotaeva, the girlfriend of Andrew Bush when he was killed.

At Kukucova's trial in 2016, the court heard how the bikini model had become "obsessed" with Mr Bush, known as the Mr Bling of Marbella, after their split in November 2013.

The 26-year-old had begun stalking him and, from April 2, 2014 - three days prior to his death - had been in his house in Malaga, Spain, without his consent.

Russian-born Miss Korotaeva, who was seeing Mr Bush at the time of his killing, has previously told how she "cowered" in the car as he was shot three times inside the villa.
