The Guardia Civil have arrested two suspects in relation to the shooting at the facade of a house in the Malaga town of Cuevas Bajas, which took place at the end of May.

According to sources and security camera images, the two perpetrators shot from a motorcycle, using a military-grade weapon. The court has ordered that they be remanded in custody without bail.

The incident occurred in the early hours of 31 May, when the house inhabitants woke up from the sound of gunshots.

Upon arriving at the scene, the police discovered a total of 14 bullet holes in the facade and windows of the house.

Several of the bullets had pierced the building and entered one of the bedrooms where a family member was sleeping. "It missed him by centimetres, because he was lying down," the homeowner told SUR.
