Murder of Chaquicocha's ronderos leaders

The PCP-SL assassinated three leaders of the peasant patrols of the Chaquicocha peasant community in Pilcomayo when they were on their way to Huancayo. This crime was part of the strategy to eliminate peasant resistance leaders.

On March 24, 1992, the PCP-SL assassinated three leaders of the peasant patrols of the Chaquicocha peasant community as they were on their way to Huancayo. This occurred in the district of Pilcomayo, province of Huancayo, in the context of the confrontation between the peasant self-defense organizations and the subversive forces. The assassination of these rondero leaders was part of the Shining Path's strategy to eliminate the leaders of the organized peasant resistance that opposed the territorial control of the PCP-SL in the region.
