The body of Maria Jose Alvarado was found buried on a remote riverbank near the northwestern city of Santa Barbara on the day she was due to fly to London. The new Miss World will travel to Honduras to build a school in her hometown that will be named in her honor.
Police in Honduras accuse her sister Sofia's boyfriend of shooting them in a fit of jealousy after seeing Sofia dancing with another man at a party.
