Rome- Spanish police found a mutilated and partially dissolved body inside a wall in an apartment in Torremolinos, Malaga, Spain, and suspect it is Sibora Gagani, an Italian woman who went missing in 2014 when she was only 22 years old. 

 The police found the body during an investigation into Marco R, 45, with whom the young woman was having an affair at the time of her disappearance.

 According to the investigative reports, the police found the body wrapped up and stuffed in a wooden box between two walls inside the apartment when using an X-ray system during an investigation into another one of Marco’s exes, a 28-year-old named Paula, who was also found and had been stabbed to death with a large knife. 

 The body found in the crawl space is now at the Institute of Forensic Medicine for autopsy and identification. Even if the DNA test is still missing, the authorities strongly suspect it is Gagani because Marco confessed quickly after his arrest to murdering both of his exes. 

 During his confession, he released gruesome details about the murder saying that he had killed Sibora during an argument, attempted to dissolve her in acid, and then stuffed the remains in a box which he kept in a crawl space in his apartment for nearly a decade. 

The disturbing confession caused the magistrate in charge of the case to order the search of the apartment where the body was eventually found.

 Sibora Gagani had moved with Marco R. in 2011 to Spain not long before her sudden disappearance on July 7, 2014.

 Her loved ones had not heard from her since. 

 According to her family's statement to another newspaper, El Español, Marco R had told them that the girl had left him and left all her belongings in his apartment.
