Passage One
The killers of a Venezuelan soap opera star and former beauty queen are among seven suspects who have been arrested, Venezuela's interior minister said. The shooting deaths of actress Monica Spear and her ex-husband, Thomas Henry Berry, have stimulated the public to turn up the pressure on the government to act on Venezuela's high crime rates. (9) The victims' 5-year-old daughter witnessed the roadside shooting and suffered a gunshot wound herself but survived. No one has been charged, but officials say there is evidence linking the group of suspected gang members to the double murder.
"It's terrible that this happened, and society has to react," Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said. (10) Four men, a woman and two minors with ties to the crime have been arrested. Four other suspects remain on the loose, including the man believed to have the murder weapon, said Jose Gregorio Sierralta, director of the Corps of Scientific, Penal and Criminal Investigations. "We've managed to arrest and totally break up this dangerous gang," he said. (11) A key piece of evidence helped authorities identify who was behind the deadly shooting, Sierralta said, Spear's digital camera. Investigators found the camera in the home of one of the suspects, he said.
(12) Sierralta stressed that we cannot distance ourselves from this reality. We must reflect on each case as parents, as professionals.
Venezuela is one of the world's most violent countries, according to a United Nations' ranking. One person is killed roughly every 21 minutes in Venezuela. And there were 24,700 violent deaths last year in the oil-rich country of roughly 30 million people, according to the nonprofit Venezuelan Violence Observatory.
9. What do we know about the victims' daughter?
10. How many criminals were involved in the crime?
11. What's the critical evidence to dig out who fired the fatal shot?
12. What's Sierralta’s suggestion about dealing with such cases?
文章一
委內瑞拉內政部長稱，殺害肥皂劇女星及前委內瑞拉小姐莫妮卡·斯皮爾的兇手就在被抓的七名嫌疑人當中。女演員莫妮卡·斯皮爾與其前夫，托馬斯·亨利·貝里的槍殺案激怒了委內瑞拉民眾，委內瑞拉政府在打擊高犯罪率方面面臨更大壓力。受害者5歲的女兒目擊了這起路邊槍擊事件，她雖然身中一槍，但卻幸存了下來。目前沒有對任何人提出起訴，但是有官員稱有證據將該黑幫團伙成員與這起兩位死者的謀殺案聯系在一起。
“很不幸這件事情發生了，社會必須對此作出反應，”委內瑞拉總統尼古拉斯·馬杜羅表示。涉嫌此案的四名男子、一名女性和兩名未成年人被捕。“包括被認為持有行兇兇器男子的另外四名涉嫌分子目前仍逍遙法外。”委內瑞拉刑事調查局局長約瑟·格雷戈里奧·塞拉爾塔稱“我們已經抓獲并粉碎了這一危險團伙”，他說。塞拉爾塔說，幫助當局確認誰開出致命一槍的那條關鍵線索就是斯皮爾的數碼相機。他說調查人員是在嫌疑人家中發現的這部相機。
塞拉爾塔強調我們每一個人對于此類事實都不應該置身事外，我們應該像父母和專業人士一樣去反思每一起案件。
根據聯合國的排名，委內瑞拉是世界上暴力事件最多的國家之一。在委內瑞拉，大概每21分鐘就有一個人被殺害。去年，這個擁有約3000萬人口的石油國家暴力死亡人數達24700.據非盈利組織委內瑞拉暴力犯罪觀察站統計
