A spokeswoman for the Civil Guard told ST: “As part of the investigation, he was traced via a car which he was renting.”

She added: “We know that the suspect may have known Ms Fang and they may have been in a romantic relationship.

BBM. I figured with the low crime rate in Spain, the assailant would not be a stranger to Audrey. Interesting that he isn't mentioned to be staying at the hotel with her.

the Spanish cops did a good job of investigating - impressive IMO:

The Civil Guard, which is one of Spain’s two national police forces, said on April 19: “Police collected information and images from CCTV cameras at the hotel and found out that she was picked up by a vehicle when she left the hotel the day before her death.”

The footage was too dark to get precise information about the car, but the police managed to identify the make and model by analysing its size and design details.

By tracing the car’s route, the police were able to determine that it had started its journey at a carpark near a hotel in Alicante, a city in south-eastern Spain. “From there, the car travelled to the hotel in Xabia and later to the town of Abanilla,” the Civil Guard said.

“Once this was established, a surveillance operation was set up, which culminated in the arrest of the suspect in his hotel room in Alicante on April 16. Murder squad detectives arrested a 43-year-old man from Singapore.”
