3 die in new Venezuela protests

Three people have died in fresh protests in Venezuela, this time in the central city of Valencia. A policeman and two other men were shot dead in separate incidents. In Caracas, Venezuelan government supporters and opposition demonstrators took to the streets to hold rival marches. The marches mark one month since the current protest movement began - on 12 February. Twenty-five people are now known to have died. The opposition mayor of Valencia, Miguel Cocchiola, said that the city had seen several incidents of violence during the day. A 42-year old man, Guillermo Sanchez, was painting his house when he was shot in the head by pro-government militias passing on motorbikes, said Mr Cocchiola, according to BBC.
