PCP-SL militants kidnapped and murdered Isaías Charete Quinchoquer, president of the Campa Asháninka Río Ene Organization (OCARE), in the native community of Centro Tzomaveni, Pangoa district, Satipo. This selective assassination was part of the Shining Path's strategy to consolidate their territorial control in the Ene River area.
On February 13, 1989, PCP-SL militants kidnapped and murdered native leader Isaías Charete Quinchoquer, who was president of the Campa Asháninka Río Ene Organization (OCARE). The murder occurred in the native community of Centro Tzomaveni, located in the district of Pangoa, province of Satipo. This crime was part of the PCP-SL's strategy to eliminate native leaders who might represent opposition to their territorial control in the Ene River area. The assassination of Charete Quinchoquer took place in a context where the PCP-SL had achieved, by mid 1989, almost absolute control of the Ene River basin and part of the Tambo River basin.
