USA Today currently reports that 19 year old beauty queen Maria Jose Alvarado and her older sister Sophia Trinidad Hernandez have been killed.



The reigning Miss Honduras had attended a birthday party with her sister on Thursday night and was to leave for London three days later for the Miss Universe pageant. Authorities believe that both women were abducted, shot and killed shortly after the party.



The head of the National Directorate of Criminal Investigation, Leandro Osorio, confirmed with a local newspaper that the bodies of both women were found today buried in a small mountain village. He stated that Alvarado had been shot in the back while Hernandez had been shot in the front.



Police currently have two suspects, including Hernandez's boyfriend, in custody. They also have a witness under police protection.

Edit: The Daily Mail is now reporting that Hernandez's boyfriend became jealous that she was dancing with another man. They got into an argument about it and he shot her and then shot Alvarado as she tried to flee.
