A missing woman has been found buried inside a wall that was smoothed over with concrete.
Joice Maria da Gloria Rodrigue, 25, a student who lived with her husband and two daughters in Sao Vicente, Brazil was reported missing on 27 September after visiting her grandfather.
Her body was found on Tuesday, October 5, at a construction site after a builder noticed the smell of her decomposing body.
Police found the naked body of Joice with a t-shirt around her neck after knocking a hole in the wall at the site.
Police arrested two suspects, a bricklayer, 56, and a 35-year-old contractor, working on the building site.
Police said the contractor denied any wrongdoing, but the bricklayer confessed to killing the young woman and concealing her corpse, implicating his colleague in the crimes.
According to local media, he also told the police he had maintained consensual sexual relations with the woman before her death.
However, detectives have not ruled out the possibility of sexual abuse.
