BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Paraguay’s prosecutor of organized crime and drug trafficking cases has been slain by gunmen on a Colombian beach as he honeymooned with his new wife, who says the attackers came on a jet ski or small boat. Prosecutor Marcelo Pecci married journalist Claudia Aguilera in April. Aguilera had recently shared photos on social media showing her and Pecci on the Barú peninsula in the Caribbean, south of the Colombian city of Cartagena. The Decameron Barú Hotel, where the couple was staying, says the attackers arrived on a jet ski and shot the couple while they were on the beach. It says the gunmen also fired at a security guard, who was unhurt.
