Police arrested two suspects in the murder of a Polish woman, authorities announced on Thursday (January 26).
According to some reports, police are working on the theory that 24-year-old Helena Kmiec was stabbed to death during a robbery at a childcare center run by Polish nuns, where she had been working.
But officials declined to offer concrete information.
"We need to find out the motive of the murder, it could be for robbery, for rape or some other motive," said one unidentified police official.
Kmiec arrived to Cochabamba two weeks ago. According to a Vatican news report, she was killed at night when robbers entered the center and she woke up.
Government Minister Carlos Romero confirmed the arrests, but offered scant additional information.
"Yes, people have been arrested but we are in the investigation phase. When we have more elements, we will give information through a statement. We still don't have information because we are continuing the investigation," he said. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
