Six Colombian women killed by falling Church roof

BOGOTA, Colombia, Apr 10 (Reuters) Six women were killed and 43 people injured when the roof of a Roman Catholic church collapsed during Palm Sunday mass in a small Colombian town, police said.

The roof fell in as the building was battered by high winds and rain just as worshipers prepared to take communion in the church in the town of Bituima, near the Colombian capital Bogota in the Andes mountains, witnesses said.

Ambulances rushed the injured to the hospital in the nearby town of Facatativa.
