Request for transfer of the trial to Lima

On July 18, 1985, the relatives of the journalists murdered in Uchuraccay formally requested the transfer of jurisdiction of the trial from the Superior Court of Ayacucho to the city of Lima. This request came in the context of an extremely eventful and complex judicial process that had dragged on for several years. On September 12, 1985, the request was declared well-founded, and subsequently, on November 25 of the same year, the Eighth Correctional Court of Lima was designated to take over the continuation of the trial. The transfer took place after the relatives challenged all the members of the Ayacucho Superior Court on July 31, 1985.
