A Cambuslang family's "trip of a lifetime" in Mexico turned into a living nightmare after a man was shot three times in the face at the poolside of their resort.

Katrina Butler and her husband Bryan whisked their three sons away to Cancun, Mexico, staying at a five-star hotel, as they celebrated the school holidays and the couple's 50th as an early birthday treat.

However, only three days into their holiday the family witnessed a horrific attack, leaving them shaken and utterly traumatised.

Mum-of-three, Katrina, claims to have witnessed a man shot dead at the poolside, while families were just yards away. At the time, Katrina and her husband Bryan decided to cool off in the water, a few seconds later they heard gunshots.
