THE last alleged victim of convicted serial killer Jurado Montilla died from a severe blow to her head.
Ester Estepa from Sevilla went missing last August in the Gandia area of Valencia province and was seen in a photo taken with Montilla.
When questioned by the police, Montilla said that he had not harmed Ester but officers are treating him as the main suspect.

Her body was discovered by hikers in a Gandia sugarcane field in February.
Experts from the Valencia Institute of Legal Medicine said the indentations in her skull suggested that she was hit with a blunt object.
DNA extracted from her teeth confirmed in June that she was Ester Estepa.
63-year-old Jurado Montilla was sentenced to 123 years behind bars after committing four murders in Malaga province between 1985 and 1987 including British and German tourists.
He could only serve a maximum of 30 years in prison but was released two years early in December 2013 due to a ruling by the European Court in Strasbourg.
He is currently in custody after being arrested in May over the 2022 murder of a 21-year-old student in Los Montes, Malaga.
The victim, named as David, was shot twice and in his final social media posting, he said he had given some water to a ‘guy with a bad look’.
