Minister Carlos Romero called it a &ldquo;cowardly and brutal killing&rdquo; and asked that the body be turned over to authorities. Illanes was &ldquo;savagely beaten&rdquo; to death by the striking miners, said defense minister Reymi Ferreira.
The fatal beating follows the killings of two protesters in clashes with police.
