The funeral has been taking place in the Colombian capital, Bogota, of a seven-year-old girl from a poor family who was raped and killed on Sunday.

Yuliana Samboni's body - which showed signs of torture - was found in a luxury apartment in the city. It's believed she had been suffocated.

The suspect, who has been detained by the police, is from a wealthy family.

The killing has ignited public anger about child sex abuse as well as over the country's deep social divide.

1. I hope there is justice for this baby.

We can never even understand at all how anyone can commit these crimes against little defenseless children.

2. "found in a luxury apartment in the city"

then the person will get off. Something to do with trickle down. Part of Libertarian (ayn rand) theory is that the poor are worthless.

4. Well, we know that to even suggest the wealthy can commit such crimes is tin-foil-hat territory.

Oh, just in the United States, then?

3. In Dominican Republic, if you or your child kills someone, you just hop a plane to Spain and live

there for a while.. nobody will care. If you destroy Dad's Maserati, it's okay, he will buy you another one.

5. I love the way people think the US is so very different.
