菲律宾选美皇后家门口遭枪杀

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

日前，菲律宾一位选美皇后在打开房子前门接受一名“职业杀手”的献花和巧克力时，却被对方枪杀。

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

上周三清晨，住在菲律宾布拉干省的23岁的玛丽·克里斯汀·巴尔塔扎尔为两名男子打开了房子前门。

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

据调查这起谋杀案的警察称，这两名男子在这位还是学生的选美皇后头上开了一枪，随后跳上了一辆在旁边等候的摩托车逃走。

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

玛丽随即被迅速送往医院，医护人员试图挽救她的生命，但最终她还是在救护车中离世。

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

普拉里德尔警方负责人胡里奥·利萨尔多表示，他们正在调查一位曾与玛丽保持恋爱关系的男子。

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.'

他补充说道：“我们相信本次枪杀是雇佣杀手完成的。我们在案发现场发现了45口径手枪的空弹壳，并认为这两人是骑摩托车逃跑的。”

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.

巴尔塔扎尔曾在2009年和2010年连续获得La Bulakenya选美冠军。她生前在菲律宾的瑞吉娜·卡麦丽大学学习。

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·贝西纳说道：“人的一生真的太短。我们可能甚至都不知道发生了什么，就将一切交给万能的神灵。我们相信正义终会胜利。我们祈祷你的家人们和我们--你的这些朋友们，能得到一个公道。”
