A day after Robert Serra, a rising star in Venezuela’s governing party, was stabbed to death in his home, officials said Thursday that it was a carefully planned murder. Mr. Serra, 27, a lawyer and former student leader, was elected to Congress in 2010. Neighbors discovered his body and that of a woman in his house in Caracas on Wednesday night. Interior Minister Miguel Rodríguez Torres said that the attack was “an intentional homicide, planned and executed with great precision.” He did not give details about a possible motive.
