Venezuelan Student Leader Murdered

Julio Soto, student government president at the University of Zulia, was gunned down last week by an unknown party, presumably a hired assassin.
President Hugo Chavez has ordered an immediate investigation with all the resources and departments the government has to offer. It has been stressed not to view murder as a political incident but based on the current information political motives are hard to ignore.
When a student leader of a governmental opposition party is killed with over 20 bullets it's hard to over rule the idea the political connection. I did more research on the case and found the crime scene revealed no possessions had been taken, ruling out a robbery.
My question is: even if the investigation gets to the bottom of this, will the public know the truth?
