A Santera girl cries in front of a mass grave as a family member is buried in Carabobo, Venezuela. The smell of the decomposed body was so strong that family members had to keep distance from the pits during the burials. On 28 March 2018, a fire broke out in the cells of Carabobo police headquarters, in the city of Valencia, Venezuela. The fire spread quickly, killing at least 66 inmates and two female visitors. At least 34 people were buried on 30 March 2018, at the municipal cemetery in Valencia
