Final dismissal of the complaint
Final closure based on recantation of witnesses and allegations of subversive ties
The Provincial Prosecutor of Huaraz, Dr. Hugo Morales Morales, ordered the definitive dismissal of the complaint. The decision was based on changes in the version of witnesses Yolanda Donata Hurtado Sanchez and Reyna Fernandez Salcedo, who retracted their initial statements. The prosecutor also invoked a JECOTER report that stated that the victims were in hiding due to their ideological and political ideas, and pointed out the alleged lack of interest of the relatives since 1989.
