Beauty queen murdered: The apparently random highway killing of a former Miss Venezuela has shocked Venezuelans into renewed outrage over their country’s soaring murder rate. Monica Spear, 29, a popular soap opera star, was shot to death along with her British ex-husband by highway robbers who attacked their car as they returned to Caracas from a New Year’s vacation in the mountains. Their 5-year-old daughter was wounded. Responding to a national outpouring of grief, President Nicolás Maduro vowed to act “with an iron fist” to find the killers. More than 70 people were murdered across Venezuela in the first week of the year.
