The case
According to the prosecutor’s accusation, they were under the command of Humala Tassoknown as ‘Captain Carlos’, who assumed leadership of the Countersubversive Battalion 313 at the Madre Mía military base in June 1992.
Furthermore, the Prosecutor’s Office maintains, at that time, patrol groups were formed in the different surrounding areas of the district of Santa Rosa de Alto Yanajanca, in the province of Marañón, in Huánuco.
Likewise, the Public Ministry explained that the case, which has been declared complex, frames the investigation into the torture and murder “with cruelty” of Edgardo Isla on June 25, 1992, which was allegedly committed by Humala’s subordinates in the Yanajanca hamlet. In addition, it also includes the same acts that would have been committed against Nemer Acuña.
“The skeletal remains of both victims have already been recovered and identified as part of the investigation,” the Prosecutor’s Office reported in a statement on November 11.
However, the investigation also includes the disappearance of Luis Izaguirre, Nelson Hoyos, Hermes Estela and Yander Leandro, which occurred in June and September of the same year in the hamlets of Yanajanca, La Morada and Alto Pucayacu.
