A MISSING hip-hop artist has been found dead in a barrel hidden in the boot of an abandoned car.
Nesly Monterroso, 27, vanished three days before the grisly discovery was made on December 5 in Guatemala.
The rapper was last seen leaving an office she owned in Guatemala City, close to where her body was found.
She was killed by a strong blow to the head, according to The National Institute of Forensic Sciences.
Cops have launched a murder probe after her body was discovered in a car without number plates.
Local residents reported the suspicious-looking vehicle to the authorities and officers of the National Civil Police arrived on the scene to carry out a check.
