Santiago: A mudslide that buried much of a village in southern Chile has killed 11 people while another 15 are still missing, authorities have said. The tragedy struck a picturesque village of Villa Santa Lucia in the southern Los Lagos (Lakes) region where heavy rain triggered mudslides that swallowed up most of the homes in the village of 300.
