Spanish police have raided the home of a man suspected of carrying out machete attacks at two churches that left one person dead and a priest seriously hurt.

Interior minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said officers searched the unnamed attacker’s home to “determine the nature, terrorist or otherwise”, of Wednesday night’s horror.
