Burial of the dead with the help of community members
On August 20, 1993, survivors of the massacre in Tahuantinsuyo finished burying the 21 dead with the help of four community members who came from Mazamari. This burial took place two days after the Shining Path incursion of August 18.
On Friday, August 20, 1993, two days after the massacre perpetrated by Shining Path columns in the Tsiriari valley, the villagers who had survived by hiding in the bush finished burying the dead. Four villagers who arrived from Mazamari helped them in this task. On Thursday, August 19, the villagers had come down from the bush and informed the Army at the Mazamari base about the massacre that had occurred the day before. The murders had been committed with bladed weapons: arrows, machetes and others were hanged with pitas, resulting in twenty-one deaths among children, men and women in the Nomatsiguenga Tahuantinsuyo community.
