South Wales Police said a distinctive beige Nissan and a black Volvo left the Leicester area after 10.30am on Sunday and travelled to South Wales before leaving after the shooting.
Detective Chief Superintendent Ceri Hughes said previously: “The investigation has continued at pace, and we are working hard to establish a motive for Joanne’s killing.
