Murder of residents of Llusita
Collective murder of villagers in Llusita, Víctor Fajardo, perpetrated by the PCP-Sendero Luminoso in January 1983. This event generated subsequent reprisals against neighboring communities accused of complicity.
In January 1983, the PCP-Sendero Luminoso committed a collective assassination of villagers in the locality of Llusita, province of Victor Fajardo. This event was part of the Shining Path's strategy to 'beat the countryside' by assassinating authorities and 'enemies' in general. Later, in April 1983, the disappearance of 4 community members from Circamarca was reported by ronderos from Llusita and military from the Cangallo base, who accused the villagers of being guilty of the Llusita massacre. The event took place in the context of the intensification of violence in the area during 1983, the year with the highest death toll in the entire department of Ayacucho.
