The man detained in connection with the fatal stabbing of Ousmane Kote in Roquetas de Mar, Juan José Orihuela, has apparently confessed to the killing. He is due to appear in court later today.
Four other people are also still being detained in connection with the incident which provoked several days of rioting in the Almerían town.
Orihuela had been in hiding for the past sixteen days at a remote farmhouse and police investigators are now trying to identify and locate a woman who helped conceal him during this time.
