In Algeciras, police have arrested Francisco Luque as the alleged killer of retired police officer Juan Montiel at his home in the Rinconcillo district of the city.
The incident occurred last night in calle Cernícalo. Francisco Luque, who has a history of mental problems, broke into the home of Juan Montil and shot him. Luque then barricaded himself in the house and a special unit (GEOS ) had to be called in from Sevilla.
After an exchange of gunfire, Luque was eventually detained.
Juan Montil was 59 years old and had retired from the police force six months ago.
