A SEVILLA judge has ordered that the search for Marta del Castillo Casanueva’s body move to a ditch near her ex-boyfriend’s house.

Miguel Carcaño, 20 (pictured), confessed to killing the 17-year-old after she went missing in January.

It is thought that she was gang-raped and strangled.

Miguel initially claimed Marta had been thrown into the river Guadalquivir, then he changed his story and said she was on a rubbish dump outside the city.

Her body has never been found.

The ditch next to Miguel’s home in Camas (Sevilla) was open in January but is now covered with discarded building material.

A search has begun in the area following a statement taken by another ex-girlfriend of Miguel’s, aged 14.

The youngster said Marta may have been in a copse near the house, but police found no trace of her.
