Former Miss Venezuela Shot Dead



[From article]
A former Miss Venezuela and her Irish ex-husband were shot and killed and their 5-year-old daughter was wounded when they resisted robbers by locking their car doors after it broke down, police said Tuesday.
The murders of popular soap-opera actress Monica Spear, 29, and Thomas Berry, 39, were the latest high-profile crime in a country where people are regularly killed in armed robberies and where rampant kidnapping has ensnared even foreign ambassadors and professional baseball players.
[. . .]
Venezuela has one of the world’s highest murder rates, and violent crime is so rampant that residents tend to stay home after dark.
