Midget wrestlers killed in hooker romp

TWO hookers were being quizzed last night after a pair of wrestling MIDGETS died in a sex party - plunging an entire country into mourning.
Pint-size grappler Alberto Jimenez, 35, and his twin Alejandro - national heroes in Mexico - were drugged and robbed after picking up two tarts at a hotel.
The thieving hookers are believed to have spiked their booze with eye drops to knock them out - but the dose was too much for their tiny frames.
Bouts
The bodies of the 4ft 1in pair were found sprawled on their hotel room beds close to the Arena Mexico wrestling mecca - famed for its bouts between costumed midgets.

Grief-stricken fans yesterday paid their respects as Alberto - whose wrestling name was Little Death - was taken home in a coffin with the mask from his trademark skeleton costume on the lid.
He was accompanied by his twin, known in the ring as Espectrito, whose casket also bore his mask.
Tearful mini-wrestlers donned their own costumes to form a guard of honour.
Midget wrestlers are feted in Mexico where the sport remains huge after its popularity in other countries began to wane in the 1970s.

Witnesses at the cheap hotel told police how the twins chatted up the vice girls and whisked them to their room.
The hookers were later seen scarpering.
Cops confirmed the wrestlers' personal belongings had been taken.
