The Honduras beauty queen was shot to death trying to flee after her sister’s boyfriend, Plutarco Ruiz flew into a jealous rage at a birthday party held in his honour last week, authorities in the Central American country said.
The 19-year-old brunette beauty was scheduled to fly on Sunday to London in advance of the Miss World Pageant, meant to begin in December.
Leandro Osorio, the head of Honduras’ National Bureau of Criminal Investigation, said that their bodies had been found near the Aguagua River.
Osorio said: “We are 100% sure it’s them,” adding that a “protected witness” had provided valuable information.
''Witnesses said my daughter left the spa with three men,” the beauty’s mom, Teresa Munoz, told reporters. “I tried repeatedly all night to call their cell phones without any response.”
The brunette beauty described herself as a student and aspiring diplomat who enjoys playing soccer and volleyball. She defeated 18 other women to win her country’s crown in April.
She was preparing to face off with a total of 120 contestants from around the world in London, with the finals scheduled for Dec. 14. A pageant official said the country would not have an entry in this years competition following the tragedy.
Two people have been arrested including the Sofia's boyfriend.
