On April 11, 1988, businessman Brancko Pejnovil Baigm, owner of the Hilados S.A. textile factory, was assassinated in Lima. This assassination was part of the selective annihilation strategy implemented by the PCP-Sendero Luminoso during the transition period towards the "encirclement of the city". The attack is part of the context of intensified violence in Metropolitan Lima, where subversive groups began to carry out selective assassinations against political leaders, civil authorities and businessmen. This type of action was aimed at destabilizing the established order and demonstrating the operational capacity of the PCP-SL in the country's capital.
