Venezuelan diplomat: Serra's killers will be found

VENEZUELA’S embassy chief vowed this weekend that the killers of the country’s youngest ever MP will be caught. 

Charge d’affaires Alfonso D’Santiago told the Morning Star on Saturday that he is “certain” the assassins of Congressman Robert Serra and his wife Maria Herrera will be brought to justice. 

His comments came as Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro confirmed the hunt has turned to a “band of criminals” that ex-Colombian president Alvaro Uribe “has directed all of his life.”
