Carl Carr who was 38 and from Dublin, was reported missing in September, and his body later found in a shallow grave by the AP7 motorway near Torevieja.
Mr Carr’s flatmate Wayne Walsh, from Kilkenny appeared in court on Saturday on suspicion of killing him, and remains in jail.
Two women are also in custody, however it is not known who is said to have been involved in the romantic triangle-drama that allegedly sparked the attack on Mr Carr.
