In August 1984, the Peruvian army committed assassinations against villagers in Uchuraccay. The wife and young son of Faustino Gómez were killed, as well as the youngest daughter of Paulino Figueroa. Also killed were Angelina Llancce Puclla, Inocencia Llancce, Bonifacia Gálvez Farfán, Emilia Ccahuana Cunto and María Maule. These murders occurred in the context of continuous incursions where the military, together with members of the Self-Defense Committees and Shining Path, arrived indiscriminately to the town burning houses, stealing belongings and cattle, mistreating and raping women before killing them, with no respect for men, women or children. By August 1984, the Uchuraccaínos had no choice but to abandon the community completely, leaving it uninhabited.
