Attempt to erase evidence in Mysteriosa mine
Military dynamited mine entrance and dumped human remains to erase evidence of massacre
Army soldiers detained a group of community members who were coming to the aid of the court for the removal of corpses, holding them in an abandoned house from 10:00 in the morning until 5:30 in the afternoon. At approximately 3:30 the detainees felt an explosion, due to the fact that the soldiers were dynamiting the entrance of the sinkhole to erase the traces of the massacre, throwing the human remains into a deep ravine. Sergeant Duilio Chipana Tarqui admitted that Lieutenant Bendezú ordered him to return to the mine and close the entrance.
