Beauty queen killed by gunmen in violent protests in Venezuela | ||
2014-02-21 | ||
The model, who was Miss Turismo 2013 for the state of Carabobo, was taken by motorcycle to hospital where surgeons battled in vain to save her life. A relative of Genesis, who asked not to be named, said: "How long are we going to live like this? How long do we have to tolerate this pressure, with them killing us?"
Her death came on the day anti-socialist protests claimed a sixth victim in a week of violence that has swept the oil-rich country. Venezuelan TV said a woman who had suffered a heart attack died after an ambulance taking her to hospital was blocked by opposition protesters in the capital Caracas yesterday. The country has spent a week in the grip of violent protests against the socialist government established by ex-President Hugo Chavez 15 years ago. Three people have been shot dead in the capital Caracas and another person was run over by a car during clashes in the coastal town of Carupano. | ||
