Miss Venezuela Monica Spear’s 5-Year Old Daughter Clueless She’s Dead! Shrink To Help Deliver The Tragic News

The 5-year-old daughter of former Miss Venezuela Monica Spear is still clueless that her parents were killed in a failed robbery attempt, as she recovers in the hospital from the leg wound she sustained from the attack.

According to Hollywoodlife.com, family and relatives have decided that a shrink should be the one to tell her the tragic news.

Monica Spear, 29, and 39-year-old Thomas Henry Berry, the beauty queen's ex-husband, were shot dead by alleged robbers on the highway in Venezuela on January 13.

Spear's brother, Ricardo, confirmed as much in an interview with NTV24.

"Maya isn't yet aware that her parents have been murdered. It's a terrible tragedy what has happened to her and as long as we can give her time to recover we will be there for her," he said.

The entertainment news site, TMZ, meanwhile quoted "family sources" as saying that the young girl was made to believe that her parents are just sleeping. The website also reported that "psychologists are now working closely with the toddler to soften the blow once her family tells her the truth ... very shortly."

The girl's grandparents will reportedly take care of her as guardians.

The New York Times, meanwhile, reported that five suspects have been detained for the murder of the former Miss Venezuela and her husband. The police, however, did not provide the identities of the alleged robbers.

Initial investigation showed that the Spears and Berry were traveling down the highway when their vehicle hit a sharp object placed on the road between Puerto Cabello and Valencia in the state of Carabobo, Sierralta.

In a televised message, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro described the killing of the couple as well as the wounding of the child as "a massacre."

"This violence is a sickness that we have," he said. "They were inside the car and were riddled (with bullets). I ask those who assassinated this young person: what explanation do you have?"
