Friends, family and fans gathered to say their final goodbyes to former Miss Venezuela Monica Spear and ex-husband Thomas Henry Berry during an emotional funeral service.

The funeral took place in the capital city – Caracas, Venezuela, just days after they were brutally slain in a roadside attack outside the capital city.

According to NBC, Spear, Berry and their child had stopped on Puerto Cabello-Valencia Road after they got 2 flat tyres late Monday – January 6, 2014. Police said robbers attacked the couple and their daughter, who were on vacation in Venezuela, in their car. The robbers opened fire on the family locked inside the grey 2002 Corolla Toyota, killing the parents and injuring the child. The pair’s 5-year-old daughter, Maya survived the attack with a gunshot wound to the leg, but i t’s unclear if she attended the funeral.

Monica Spear was crowned Miss Venezuela in 2004 and competed in the Miss Universe 2005 pageant in Thailand, where she was fourth runner-up.
