On August 14, 1985, a military patrol of 25 soldiers under the command of Sub-Lieutenant Telmo Hurtado Hurtado entered the community of Llocllapampa in Accomarca and killed 69 peasants, according to witnesses. Days before, on August 8, the Vilcas military base had ordered a joint operation of several patrols to various localities, including Accomarca and Llocllapampa, after detecting a Shining Path camp with weapons. The patrol commanded by sub-lieutenant Hurtado shot and killed five individuals, capturing numerous people, including five children. The massacre had important repercussions at the local level, signifying the end of PCP-SL control in that area and the beginning of military rule. The Shining Path mouthpiece 'El Diario' spread the news almost a month later, on September 11, 1985.
