A stunning model was one of 13 people killed in a Guatemalan prison riot in which four people were decapitated.  

The free-for-all claimed the life of Argentinian beauty Joanna Birriel, 24, as well as the Pavon jail in Guatemala City's most influential prisoners Bryon Lima, who she is understood to have been meeting.

She was caught up in gang violence when a fellow inmate threw a hand grenade at Lima, imprisoned for the murder of a bishop bludgeoned to death with a concrete block in 1998, and supporters protecting him attacked their rivals with guns leaving 12 inmates dead in total.
