Miss Honduras killed by her brother in law
Quote:
A man has told police he killed Miss Honduras and her sister in a jealous rage because the latter, his girlfriend, danced with another man.
The bodies of Maria Jose Alvarado (19), and her sister Sofia (23), were discovered yesterday buried near a spa in Santa Barbara where they disappeared a week earlier while celebrating the birthday of the man who has confessed, Plutarco Ruiz, Sofia’s boyfriend.
Ms Alvarado was to have flown to London this week to compete in the Miss World pageant - the high point of her reign as Miss Honduras.
Police said Ruiz confessed to the killing and led investigators to the remote grave site where he and an accomplice buried them in a mountainous area of Santa Barbara, about 240 miles west of the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa.
Police said he told them that at some point during the night of November 13th, a heated argument broke out and Ruiz pulled a gun, firing first at his girlfriend and then at Maria Jose Alvarado as she tried to flee, said national police director General Ramon Sabillon. The latter was shot twice in the back.
The alleged accomplice, Aris Maldonado, is in custody and authorities are searching for other suspects.
Ms Alvarado’s body, wrapped in brown plastic, was loaded into the back of a pick-up truck hours before she was to have boarded the flight to London.
The Miss World winner will be crowned on December 14th.
“We had her gown ready and her traditional dress costumes,” said television personality and former presidential candidate Salvador Nasrallah, who employed Miss Alvarado as a model on his TV game show X-O Da Dinero.
