Massacre in Cceschua Creek

Military personnel arrived at Cceschua where most of the Cayara population had taken refuge. In the place called Ccahuaypampa they gathered all the villagers and accused them of having participated in the Erusco attack. They selected approximately 20 men (young and adult) whom they physically abused, put prickly pear cactus stalks on their backs and tortured them. They then forced the women to leave and drove the men to a steep area where they were killed. The bodies were later disappeared by the military to cover up the crime.
