Bnamericas
A gang gunned down Chilean mine company boss Luis Hochschild Plaut yesterday in Lima's Monterrico residential suburb and kidnapped his eldest son, mining engineer Eduardo Hochschild Beek.

Seventy-one-year-old Hochschild ran several gold and cement mines in Chile and Peru, and played a leading role in promoting Peru's mining industry. He was taking part in the Third World Gold Symposium at the time of his death.

The Hochschild family has extensive business interests in Chile and Peru. One of Luis' cousins is Hernan Hochschild, president of Chile's national mining society Sonami.
