菲律賓選美皇后家門口遭槍殺

A Filipino beauty queen has been shot dead moments after opening the front door to 'hitmen' who gave her flowers and chocolates.

日前，菲律賓一位選美皇后在打開房子前門接受一名“職業殺手”的獻花和巧克力時，卻被對方槍殺。

Mary Christine Balagtas, 23, opened her front door to the two men at her home in Bulacan, the Philippines, last Wednesday morning.

上週三清晨，住在菲律賓布拉幹省的23歲的瑪麗·克里斯汀·巴爾塔扎爾爲兩名男子打開了房子前門。

They let off a single bullet into the student's head then fled on a waiting motorbike, according to police investigating the murder.

據調查這起謀殺案的警察稱，這兩名男子在這位還是學生的選美皇后頭上開了一槍，隨後跳上了一輛在旁邊等候的摩托車逃走。

She was rushed to hospital as paramedics battled to stabilise her but she died inside the ambulance.

瑪麗隨即被迅速送往醫院，醫護人員試圖挽救她的生命，但最終她還是在救護車中離世。

Superintendent Julio Lizardo from Plaridel Police said they were now investigating a man who had a previous relationship with Ms Balagtas.

普拉里德爾警方負責人胡里奧·利薩爾多表示，他們正在調查一位曾與瑪麗保持戀愛關係的男子。

He added: 'We believe the attack could have carried out by a hired gun. We found an empty shell from a.45 calibre pistol at the scene and believe that two men had fled on a motorcycle.'

他補充說道：“我們相信本次槍殺是僱傭殺手完成的。我們在案發現場發現了45口徑手槍的空彈殼，並認爲這兩人是騎摩托車逃跑的。”

Ms Balagtas previously won the La Bulakenya pageant in 2009 and second pageant in 2010. She was studying at the University of Regina Carmeli College when she died.

巴爾塔扎爾曾在2009年和2010年連續獲得La Bulakenya選美冠軍。她生前在菲律賓的瑞吉娜·卡麥麗大學學習。

Friend Flores Vecina said: 'Life is just really too short. We may not even know what true happened to you but we let it given in the hands of our almighty God. We are confident that justice will prevail. We just pray that your family and us, your friends will get that fair.'

她的朋友弗洛雷斯·貝西納說道：“人的一生真的太短。我們可能甚至都不知道發生了什麼，就將一切交給萬能的神靈。我們相信正義終會勝利。我們祈禱你的家人們和我們--你的這些朋友們，能得到一個公道。”
