A Civil Guard spokesman said at the time: 'A court in Orihuela has remanded one of the men, considered to be the shooter, in prison, while the other has been released on bail as a suspected accomplice but banned from leaving the country.'
Detectives have not said what they thought the motive behind the crime was.
Well-placed sources said today they did not believe the two incidents were linked.
