Gangbuster killed on honeymoon beach

PARAGUAY’S prosecutor of organised crime and drug trafficking cases has been killed by gunmen on a Colombian beach as he honeymooned with his new wife.

Prosecutor Marcelo Pecci married journalist Claudia Aguilera in April.

Her final social media posting, hours before the attack on the Baru peninsula, south of Cartgena, was a photo of herself and her husband with a pair of baby’s shoes along with the message: “The best wedding gift.”

Ms Aguilera, who was not hurt, said two attackers came on a small boat or jet ski. One of them “without saying a word shot Marcelo twice, once in the face and once in the back”.

Colombia’s foreign minister and vicepresident, Marta Lucia Ramirez, said authorities were working to clarify “the motives and authors of this heinous crime”.
