The missionary, Helena Kmieć, was stabbed on Tuesday, and died despite efforts to save her, according to the Salvator Missionary Volunteering group, which organized her assignment to Bolivia.
According to the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bolivian police have detained a number of suspects.
Kmieć, who arrived in Cochabamba about two weeks ago, was working at the childcare centre, run by the Polish order of the Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mother of God. She had planned to stay for six months. (vb/pk)
