All of these individuals died between September 11 and the month of December 1973, on public thoroughfares, from gunshot wounds, as recorded in the respective Medical Death Certificates from the Legal Medical Institute.

Their cases were presented to the Corporation by the Chilean Commission for Human Rights, without further information than that stated. The investigations carried out by this Corporation were also unable to gather further information regarding these victims.

Although it was not possible to establish the precise circumstances in which these deaths occurred during the respective investigations, the Superior Council considered the existence of common factors among them, regarding the time, hour, place, and especially the similar cause of death.

Likewise, it noted that there is an evident analogy with other situations in which the same circumstantial elements are present, which, being better documented, were the subject of individual accounts in this Report.

By virtue of this, it reached the conviction that all these cases were closely linked to the situation of political violence that existed in the country at the time, and especially in the city of Santiago. Consequently, it declared the individuals identified above to be victims of political violence.
