Beauty Queen And Sister Killed

Tears and anger poured out for  19-year-old Maria Jose Alvarado, and her sister Sofia, 23, who were shot and killed last week by sister's boyfriend in a fit of jealousy over his girlfriend dancing with another man.
The beauty queen was to have flown to London on Wednesday to represent Honduras at the Miss World pageant.
 Dozens of relatives and friends of the beauty queen gathered for a candlelight vigil at the college she attended, remembering a down-to-earth young woman who aspired to be a diplomat, went out without makeup and worked as a model to help support a humble family.
The bodies believed to be the sisters were found buried near the spa where they disappeared a week earlier while celebrating the birthday of the sister's boyfriend, Plutarco Ruiz.
At some point during the night of Nov. 13, a heated argument broke out over the sister dancing with another man and Ruiz pulled a gun, firing first at his girlfriend and then at Alvarado as she tried to flee.
Both sisters were laid to rest today.
