Murder of parents of Shining Path leader in Lucanamarca
Survivors of the Lucanamarca massacre of April 3, 1983 murdered the next day the parents of a local Shining Path leader who had previously been executed by the villagers, in an act of revenge after the brutal raid that left 67 dead.
The day after the Lucanamarca massacre on April 3, 1983, some survivors who had managed to escape violently broke into the home of the parents of the local Shining Path leader who had been killed earlier by the villagers. The parents were killed as a sign of revenge by the survivors of the massacre. This occurred in the context of the brutal Shining Path incursion that had left 67 dead the day before, when approximately 80 Shining Pathists ruthlessly rampaged through the community. The murder of the Shining Path leader's parents was a direct response from the community members affected by the massacre.
