Murdered Miss Honduras Maria Jose
Alvaro was killed as she tried to defend her elder sister by shielding her with
her own body, it emerged today.
The Miss World contestant, 19, is
believed to have selflessly thrown herself on top of her sister Sofia, 23, as
she lay wounded after being shot first.
Sofia's boyfriend Plutarco Antonio
Ruiz, 29, is accused of killing the sisters in a fit of jealousy after seeing
his girlfriend dance with another man at a party at an upmarket spa resort.
Police this week revealed that
beauty queen Maria, who would have been in London today competing in the Miss
World Pageant, died after being shot twice in the back. Until now it had been reported that
Maria was running away from her killer after seeing her sister gunned down when
she was fatally shot.
But a source close to police
investigating the murder told MailOnline she had in fact instinctively thrown
her body on top of her sister's to try to protect her from the gunman.
