Miss Honduras Maria Jose Alvarado, 19, and her sister Sofia Trinidad, 23, were found dead today
The body of a Miss World contestant who disappeared days before she was due to fly to London for the 2014 competition has been found.Miss Honduras Maria Jose Alvarado, 19, and her sister Sofia Trinidad, 23, were found dead in Cablotales village, near the Aguagua River today, the BBC reported.
Maria - recently crowned Miss Honduras - vanished along with her sister Sofia Trinidad after attending a friend's party last Thursday.
Four people, including Sofia's boyfriend, have been arrested.
Maria, 19, and her sister had been spending time with their parents in Honduras' crime-ridden city Santa Barbara before she was due to fly to the UK to represent her country.
Events start on Thursday November 20 before a grand final is held on December 14 at ExCel London.
Miss Honduras was due to join 120 contestants competing for the crown.
Police chief Jose Coello originally said they were not treating the pair’s disappearance as a crime.
But today it emerged four people including Sofia’s boyfriend had been arrested and were being questioned as the last-known people to see them alive.
Mr Coello confirmed: "Four people are under arrest. They include the owner of the party venue and Sofia Trinidad’s boyfriend. They are being investigated."
Mother of both girls Teresa de Jesus pleaded last night: "Open your hearts and understand my pain.
"There is an all-powerful God that sees everything and I hope you set them free."
The case has sparked fury in the notoriously violent central American country, home to the most dangerous city on the planet.
