Photos: Recovered bodies of Miss Honduras & sister + Imprisoned murderer & his accomplice

Army soldiers yesterday recovered the bodies of murdered Miss Honduras and her sister after police revealed they had arrested her sibling's boyfriend on suspicion of shooting the two women dead in a jealous rage.

The bodies of beauty queen Maria Jose Alvarado, 19, and her sister Sofia, 23, were taken away in body bags by soldiers and forensic experts after they were found buried in a river bank close to the spa where they disappeared six days ago.

General Ramon Sabillon, the National Police director, said Sofia's boyfriend Plutarco Antonio Ruiz had confessed to the killings yesterday and led authorities to the bodies in a mountainous area in Santa Barbara.
