A YOUNG woman's body has been found bricked up inside a wall nine years after she disappeared in Costa del Sol.
Spanish cops began searching for the remains of Sibora Gagani, 22, shortly after her ex-boyfriend confessed to killing her last month.
The suspect, Marco Gaio Romeo, 45, had been detained over the murder of another former partner, Paula, on May 17.
The couple had lived in the resort town of Torremolinos on southern Spain's Costa del Sol, the Daily Star reports.
Paula, a 28-year-old Italian, was allegedly stabbed 14 times by Romeo, who is the father to one of her three children.
After the Italian suspect was arrested over her murder, he also confessed to murdering Sibora after seeing her missing poster still hanging in the police station.
