National Police director Gen. Ramon Sabillon said authorities are awaiting confirmation from forensic officials that the bodies are those of beauty queen Maria Jose Alvarado, 19, and her sister, Sofia Trinidad, 23. He said early that Plutarco Ruiz, Trinidad's boyfriend, and an alleged accomplice, Aris Maldonado, have been arrested in connection with the case.
The two sisters disappeared after attending a birthday party for Ruiz last Thursday.

Mr Ruiz confessed to shooting the two women and then burying their bodies with the help of Mr Maldonado, Honduras National Police director Gen Ramon Sabillon told media.
Chief detective Leandro Osorio said Mr Ruiz had shot and killed the elder sister in a fit of jealousy after seeing her dancing with "another person or something similar", then shot Ms Alvarado and buried the bodies.
