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.
