The 25-year-old Mexican woman, named Maria Mathus Tenorio, decided to go on an adventure around the world in order to share her music.

The singer and music producer’s first destination was Costa Rica, where her body was found on the beach just one week after she started her journey.

She posted a photo on social media before starting the trip with the message: "Today my trip starts after a long time wishing to travel all around the planet alone.

“The time has arrived to be full of nature. Costa Rica, pure life".

The Ministry of Public Security of Costa Rica said that Mathus Tenorio was found dead on the beach of El Carmen, in the popular surf resort of Santa Teresa del Cobano.

Official sources report that Maria and a Brit woman she met while travelling were together on the beach when they were assaulted by two men who tried to rob them.

The Brit woman managed to escape and find a security guard who she asked for help.

However Mathus Tenorio was cornered and her attacker reportedly assaulted, raped, and then drowned the young woman in the sea.

According to the Ministry, two suspects have been arrested for her crime, identified as Esquivel Cerdas and Benavides Mendoza.

Cerdas is suspected of attacking the Mexican woman while Mendoza is accused of rape.

A friend of the young woman posted on social media after hearing the news saying: "Only a few days ago we were celebrating your big step, because your music will send you far away, now I am told on Facebook that you were abused and killed in Costa Rica, I do not understand how they could do something like this to you, I do not understand how much hate could be in this world.”

A Spanish tourist was also strangled to death while being raped in Costa Rica on Saturday morning.

The 31-year-old woman, named Arantxa Lopez Gutierrez, was attacked on the road to her hotel Laguna Lodge, in Tortuguero on the Caribbean coast, where she was staying along with her husband, a guide and eight European tourists.

She reportedly went for a walk around the hotel when she was assaulted.

A 33-year-old Nicaraguan man who had gone into the country illegally three months ago has been charged with the crime.
