Venezuela: Riots’ death toll nears that of 2014 violence

RIGHT-WING rioting in Venezuela has left four more people dead, authorities said on Tuesday — making the current unrest about as bloody as 2014’s year of violence.

On Monday, Diego Hernandez and 18-year-old Luis Alviarez were killed in Tachira state and Yeison Mora, 17, died in Barinas state.

Diego Arellano died during surgery on Tuesday after being shot at a protest south of Caracas the day before.
