Juana Quispe's lifeless body was dumped near the Orkojahuira River, in La Paz region. She had been strangled.
Her murder - one of a series of violent attacks against elected female leaders across Bolivia - sparked nationwide protests and led to the adoption of a long-delayed law to tackle the issue.
