       The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, returned to her pad in the suburb of Livry-Gargan, Paris, France, on July 9 before making the grisly discovery.

       When she entered her flat, she found a low wall that had been built in her kitchen during her absence.

       According to local reports, the wall was 3ft high, 5ft long and 16 inches wide.

       The woman also noticed a strong stench of bleach around the wall along with dozens of ghoulish flies buzzing around.

       Officers arrived at the home and smashed a hole into the low wall.

       Cops then noticed the sickening maggots and other creepy crawlies that swarmed around a blanket covering something concealed inside.

       After smashing down the rest of the wall, cops stumbled across the corpse of a man who had been folded into the foetal position.

       Authorities are now reportedly waiting for the results of an autopsy to identify him and establish his exact cause of death.

       The autopsy is scheduled to take place at the Bobigny prosecutor’s office, located in the northern outskirts of Paris.

       The matter is being investigated by the police of Seine-Saint-Denis, a French department located in the Grand Paris metropolis.

       The homeowner told the police that she only knew the couple by their first names and that the husband was supposed to carry out some renovations on the house while she was away.

       On July 10, the local authorities stated that no arrests have been made yet.

       This comes after a young woman's body was believed to be found bricked up inside a wall nine years after she disappeared.
