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
委内瑞拉内政部长称，杀害肥皂剧女星及前委内瑞拉小姐莫妮卡·斯皮尔的凶手就在被抓的七名嫌疑人当中。女演员莫妮卡·斯皮尔与其前夫，托马斯·亨利·贝里的枪杀案激怒了委内瑞拉民众，委内瑞拉政府在打击高犯罪率方面面临更大压力。受害者5岁的女儿目击了这起路边枪击事件，她虽然身中一枪，但却幸存了下来。目前没有对任何人提出起诉，但是有官员称有证据将该黑帮团伙成员与这起两位死者的谋杀案联系在一起。
“很不幸这件事情发生了，社会必须对此作出反应，”委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗表示。涉嫌此案的四名男子、一名女性和两名未成年人被捕。“包括被认为持有行凶凶器男子的另外四名涉嫌分子目前仍逍遥法外。”委内瑞拉刑事调查局局长约瑟·格雷戈里奥·塞拉尔塔称“我们已经抓获并粉碎了这一危险团伙”，他说。塞拉尔塔说，帮助当局确认谁开出致命一枪的那条关键线索就是斯皮尔的数码相机。他说调查人员是在嫌疑人家中发现的这部相机。
塞拉尔塔强调我们每一个人对于此类事实都不应该置身事外，我们应该像父母和专业人士一样去反思每一起案件。
根据联合国的排名，委内瑞拉是世界上暴力事件最多的国家之一。在委内瑞拉，大概每21分钟就有一个人被杀害。去年，这个拥有约3000万人口的石油国家暴力死亡人数达24700.据非盈利组织委内瑞拉暴力犯罪观察站统计
