On November 18, 1986, Angel CONTRERAS GARAY, 36 years of age, who worked as an itinerant coffee vendor, was killed.

Evidence in the possession of this Commission allows it to conclude that on that day, unknown individuals threw a bomb at the San Ramón branch of the Banco del Estado in Santiago, which did not detonate immediately but initially only emitted smoke.

This led the victim to position himself in front of the group of people he was with as a way to protect them, but he was struck by the impact. As a result, he suffered cervical and abdominal trauma that caused his death, according to the death certificate. A bus company owner was also wounded.

It has not been possible to identify the perpetrators of the act, nor to determine their political affiliation.

The Commission reached the conviction that Miguel Angel Contreras was the victim of a violation of his right to life due to a terrorist act committed by private individuals acting under political pretexts.
