Robert Graham, 39, from Salford, Greater Manchester, was arrested as a suspected accomplice to Tony King, who has confessed to Spanish police that he murdered the two teenagers.
Mr Graham, who was arrested on Saturday, is being held in Alhaurin de la Torre after a judge concluded that he had been aware of the actions of Mr King, according to Spanish National Radio.
DNA tests have confirmed that Mr King, 38, is actually Tony Bromwich, known as the Holloway Strangler, who served five years of a 10-year sentence for a string of sex attacks in the 1980s. Mr King, a bartender from Holloway, north London moved to Spain six years ago. He reportedly befriended Mr Graham while the pair were in prison together.
