A Madrid court jailed a member of armed Basque separatist group ETA for 29 years on Monday for the killing of a Spanish soldier in 1995.
Juan Ramon Carasatorre Aldaz, 52, was sentenced to 29 years for the killing of infantry brigadier Mariano de Juan Santamaria, who was shot in the head on April 10, 1995, in the northern city of San Sebastian, the court said in a ruling Monday.
Two other ETA members, including the outlawed group's former military wing chief Javier Garcia Gaztelu, known as "Txapote", have already been sentenced for taking part in the same crime.
Carasatorre Aldaz was arrested in southwestern France in December 2001 and transferred to Spain in November 2010 for trial over the killing of Juan Santamaria.
