11 people murdered in Accomarca

In November 1983, a military patrol killed 11 people in Accomarca, Vilcashuamán. This event was part of a series of military operations and collective murders that took place in the area during 1983, the year that registered the highest number of deaths in the region. The event is framed in the context of the military counteroffensive initiated after the army's entry in January 1983 and the Shining Path response against the population suspected of collaborating with the military patrols. This collective murder is mentioned in the chronology of violent events in Zone I, which includes actions by both the PCP-SL and the Armed Forces.
