found dead, murdered?
Leading economist and editor-publisher of
the Caracas Daily Journal, Janet Kelly (56) has been found dead close
to the Cota Mil highway above Caracas ... her Toyota Yaris
automobile was parked at a tourist vantage point overlooking the
upper Altamira suburb of Caracas close to a major exit from the
highway and her body found over the edge, 150
meters below.
At this moment there are no indications as to how Janet's death occurred, but police detectives are at the scene which has been cordoned off while investigations proceed.
Our highly-regarded colleague Janet Kelly
had only just taken over the Daily Journal (March 10) and had great
ambitions for the publication under her leadership. She was
also part of an international negotiating committee between the
Chavez Frias government and the opposition.
Philadelphia-born Janet had graduated in
international studies at the John Hopkins University (USA) and
had become a much-respected economics professor at the Institute
for Higher Economic Studies (IESA) in Caracas and had gathered a
group of investors to buy-out the DJ from the Neumann family in a
deal that closed earlier this month. She was an associate
professor at the Simon Bolivar University (USB) in Caracas and a
leading light in the expat American comunity as well as a director at
the Venezuelan American Chamber of Commerce (VenAmCham).
Chacao Mayor Leopoldo Lopez is at the scene
and says that it is up to the experts to determine what happened ...
suicide has apparently been ruled out and it is thought that she may
otherwise have been the target of political
assassination.
