On February 20, 1983, when "Victor" and his followers made their appearance in Huancasancos, the villagers assassinated them. This event occurred in the context of the reaction of the Huancasancos communities against the PCP-SL, a few days after the Sacsamarca uprising in mid-February of the same year.
