HAUNTED BY BODY IN THE BASEMENT!

ACCUSED killers Desiree and Octavio Sanchez believe they’re being haunted by the ghost of a teenage relative whose body was left to rot in their Oklahoma basement for three years, lawmen say!

Desiree and Octavio killed his kid sister in their Oklahoma home in 2018 and believe the teen’s vengeful ghost has tormented them ever since, lawmen say.

After a 14-month investigation, Octavio, 35, and his 27-year-old wife were recently arrested and charged with murdering his kid sister, Margarita Sandoval, and hiding her corpse.

Acting on a tip, police say they raided the spooked couple’s Norman residence in May 2021 and discovered the 19-year-old’s rotting body stuffed in a plastic-wrapped box.

Relatives told officials Margarita, who had a mental disability, hadn’t been heard from for three years.

Officers say the carton containing the girl’s remains was teeming with bugs, leaking liquid and stank of decomposition.

According to court records, investigators found Facebook messages between the husband and wife which discussed “moving the body around the house due to the smell.”
