Final judgment in the second instance of the Uchuraccay case
The Supreme Court issued a final sentence increasing to 15 years the sentence of two peasants from Uchuraccay for simple homicide, while it declared null the sentence against a third defendant who died in prison. The judicial process culminated after five years, although it remains in reserve for fourteen defendants who were not captured.
The Supreme Court of Justice issued its final judgment in the second instance of the Uchuraccay case, increasing to 15 years the prison sentence of defendants Dionisio Morales Pérez and Mariano Ccasani Gonzáles for the crime of simple homicide, confirming the rest of the sentence of the Special Court. The sentence against the third defendant, Simeón Auccatoma Quispe, was declared null and void because he had died six months earlier, on December 29, 1987, from tuberculosis contracted in the Lurigancho prison. This ruling marked the end of the judicial process that had dragged on for five long years since its beginning in 1983, although the process still remains in a state of reserve because fourteen of the seventeen defendants were never captured.
