CRIME SCENE, LAST MONDAY

The British victim arrived home with his partner on Monday at around 8.30pm on Calle Alferez Moreno in Santiago de la Ribera which is part of the San Javier municipality.

The hooded assailant approached the couple from behind at their doorway and fired four shots- with two bullets hitting the man in his knee and ribs.

The woman was unharmed with a ‘settling of scores’ being one theory for why the attack happened.

The gunman then fled in a car at at high speed which was later found alight a few kilometres away in one of the tunnels on the AP-7 motorway.

It’s believed that somebody in a Seat Leon car then picked up the suspect in the tunnel.

Security camera footage has been examined in the vicinity of the attack and also the AP-7 tunnel.
