A BRITISH man who killed a German expat in the luxury Costa del Sol resort of Sotogrande cleared his wife and three children out of the Spinnaker restaurant before returning to finish off his victim.
Briton Devinder Kainth – who is known locally as Victor – trained almost every day at a local gym, in a ‘military-style workout’.
The ‘stocky and well-built’ expat moved to Sotogrande full time a year ago, and has two children in private school. A third goes to nursery.
He and his London ‘blonde bombshell’ wife are well-known in the resort for their matching black and white Range Rovers, and expensive spending habits.
He is believed to have killed German expat Sandro Rottman after knocking him to the ground with just one powerful punch.
A fight broke out between the two men – who, the Olive Press can reveal, had previously been getting on well in the restaurant and drinking together – after Rottman took photos of Kainth’s young daughter.
Rottman, who had lived in Sotogrande for a decade, regularly tweeted about his interest in children.
In one recent tweet he posted a picture of a three-year-old girl at a local swimming pool in 2013, saying what a ‘beautiful young girl’ she was, and how he had spent the day with her in Sotogrande.
A manager of a restaurant in Sotogrande who knew the German well, confirmed Rottman had been banned from several restaurants in the resort and was known as a problem drinker.
He said: “I heard that the father arrested had flicked through the photos on the German’s tablet, and seen photos of his own daughter, followed by pornographic images of other young children.”
Police are still investigating the murder.

“cleared his wife and three children out of the Spinnaker restaurant before returning to finish off his victim.”
Wrong. Imogen, how do you know he purposely intended to kill (“finish off”) Mr Rottman? Poor reporting.
