People gather in a demonstration to protest over the death of former beauty queen turned soap opera star Monica Spear, in Caracas on January 8, 2014. Gunmen killed a former Miss Venezuela and her British-born partner Thomas Henry Berry in front of their young daughter in an attack that shocked the crime-plagued nation. The couple was killed in what appears to have been a botched robbery after their car broke down on a highway in northwestern Venezuela late Monday, police and prosecutors said. Their daughter, five-year-old Maya Berry Spear, was wounded in the right leg but was stable after receiving medical treatment after a crime that put a harsh spotlight on Venezuela’s soaring homicide rate.
