UCIGALPA, Sept 21, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Sep, 2017 ) - The Supreme Court on Wednesday sentenced a man convicted of killing Miss Honduras World and her sister to 45 years in prison.

He was also convicted of murdering Sofia Trinidad Alvarado, whom he was dating, said court spokesman Melvin Duarte.

The murder case shocked even violence-plagued Honduras and captured headlines around the world. Alvarado Munoz was a well-known model and tv host at 19 -- just about to leave to take part in the Miss World pageant in London.
