Carabineros (Ret.) prosecuted for aggravated kidnapping in Osorno

The minister for extraordinary cases of human rights violations for the jurisdictions of Temuco, Valdivia, Puerto Montt, and Coyhaique, Álvaro Mesa Latorre, has initiated proceedings against three retired members of the Carabineros for their responsibility in the crime of aggravated kidnapping of 17-year-old student Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez, a member of the Revolutionary Students Front (FER).

In the resolution (case file 14-2013 V), Minister Mesa Latorre charged Adrián José Fernández Hernández, Jorge Daniel Garcés Garcés, and Rodolfo Segundo Cheuquelaf Lorenzo as perpetrators of the crime committed starting on October 5, 1973, in the Bahía Mansa sector of Osorno. At this procedural stage, the minister established that:

"In the days prior to his detention, that is, on October 5, 1973, Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez traveled to his stepfather's house in the Bahía Mansa area to bring food to his brother Edgar Cárdenas Gómez, according to the account of Inés Elena Bertín Yáñez (p. 32, Vol.

I), who was taking refuge there along with Ester Bustamante Llancamil and Jorge Aguilar Cubillos, who were being intensely sought by the country's new authorities, as stated in the preceding consideration No. 38.

Likewise, on October 4, 1973, Gutiérrez Gómez traveled back to Osorno to buy food and medicine at the pharmacy where the wife of Jorge Aguilar Cubillos worked, returning on October 5 to Bahía Mansa, as has been indicated.

The press reported on October 6, 1973, that Gutiérrez's brother and the other two individuals had been executed by firing squad when they tried to assault a police station, which, according to testimonies from Carabineros who served at the Bahía Mansa Station at the time, was false, since the assault on the Bahía Mansa Station never happened; rather, those detained by Carabineros from that same station were handed over to a Carabineros patrol from Osorno commanded by Captain Adrián Fernández Hernández, according to the account of Luis Humberto Pinol Carillanca."

"According to the account of Rodolfo Segundo Cheuquelaf Lorenzo (p. 760 to p. 762, Vol. III; p. 772 to p. 773, Vol. III; p. 1017 to p. 1018, Vol. III), there was a day when a young man was detained on suspicion at the Bahía Mansa Station, who was then released.

He notes that the day before his detention, his colleagues had seen him in the vicinity and had apprehended him; that when the incident regarding the assault on the Bahía Mansa Station occurred, Captain Adrián Fernández Hernández arrived at the detachment along with Carabineros Rafael Pérez Torres, Muñoz Albornoz, and the deceased Juan Canales.

They proceeded with the operation, and at one point, Fernández called Osvaldo Nelson Rosas Cárdenas (deceased, as stated on p. 1045, Vol. III). Immediately thereafter, Rosas Cárdenas called Cheuquelaf along with another of his companions and told them that, by orders of Captain Fernández, they were to go and detain a person traveling on one of the buses going from Osorno to Bahía Mansa, which could be from the Tuchie or Carrasco company, a person who would be between 18 and 20 years old and carrying provisions.

They headed to the Pucatrihue junction in a green double-cab pickup truck that had been provided to them by the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG), which was used at the time by Jorge Aguilar Cubillos in his capacity as an official of the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG), according to the testimony of Ana del Carmen López Barría (p. 188 to p. 192, Vol.

I; p. 302 to p. 308, Vol. I; p. 356 to p. 361, Vol. I; p. 466, Vol. II). They made the bus stop, checked it, and encountered the same young man who had been released two or three days earlier.

He was indeed carrying a bag with provisions, an action that Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez was carrying out at the same time by bringing food to his brother Edgar Cárdenas Gómez, who was in hiding in Bahía Mansa, as narrated in the preceding consideration No. 38. This young man was told to get off the bus, and the driver was ordered to continue on his way.

Osvaldo Nelson Rosas Cárdenas identified the person, confirming the name that Captain Fernández had given him, which he had written down. Rosas Cárdenas struck him with the butt of his rifle in the stomach, ordered him into the pickup truck, and they headed toward the station, where the young man was handed over to Captain Fernández.

Subsequently, the detainees were loaded into the vehicles in which the Carabineros under the command of Captain Fernández were traveling—that is, those who were accused as attackers of the Bahía Mansa Station—along with the young man who was detained on the bus as indicated above."

"Subsequently, the newspaper La Prensa of that time reported that three detainees accused of the assault on the station had died, according to the testimonies indicated above; Report of the National Commission for Truth and Reconciliation (p. 2, Vol. I); individual case information (p. 28 to p. 30, Vol. I); Report of the Museum of Memory and Human Rights (p. 68 to p. 76, Vol. I)."

In the case of the accused Fernández Hernández, it was ordered that his entry into pretrial detention be deferred, as he is currently serving a sentence for another case involving human rights violations at the Punta Peuco Penitentiary Center.

Meanwhile, regarding the accused Garcés Garcés and Cheuquelaf Lorenzo, it was determined that, due to their age, they remain under full house arrest.

The minister for extraordinary cases of human rights violations for the jurisdictions of Temuco, Valdivia, Puerto Montt, and Coyhaique, Álvaro Mesa Latorre, presented an indictment against three retired Carabineros for their responsibility in the crime of aggravated kidnapping of construction worker Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez.

In the resolution (case file 14-2013), Minister Mesa Latorre identifies the Carabineros captain at the time of the events, Adrián José Fernández Hernández, and the officers Jorge Daniel Garcés Garcés and Rodolfo Segundo Cheuquelaf Lorenzo as the perpetrators of the aggravated kidnapping of the 17-year-old youth and member of the Revolutionary Students Front (FER).

During the investigation stage of the case, the minister managed to gather sufficient evidence to establish the following facts:

"A.- That the Armed Forces and the Forces of Order and Public Security assumed the Supreme Command of the Nation on September 11, 1973, uniting the Constituent, Legislative, and Executive powers in the Government Junta, as established in Communiqué No. 5 of the same date, as well as in Decree Law No. 1, subsequently clarified and complemented by Decree Laws Nos. 128, 527, and 788.

B.- That starting on September 11, 1973, the command of the 3rd Carabineros Precinct of Osorno was in charge of Captain Adrián Fernández Hernández, a unit to which, among others, the Bahía Mansa Station was added in consideration of the events occurring in the country.

He organized and coordinated a special group of Carabineros that included Mario Maragaño Oyarzún (deceased, as stated on p. 1042, Vol. III), Guillermo Antilef Quintul, Sergio Rozas Silva (deceased, as stated on p. 1040, Vol.

I; p. 292 to p. 293, Vol. I), Ademar Catalán Aguilar (p. 169 to p. 171, Vol. I; p. 319 to p. 323, Vol. I), Leopoldo Arcos Rodríguez (p. 181 to p. 183, Vol. I), Luis Humberto Pinol Carillanca (p. 173 to p. 176, Vol.

I; p. 254 to p. 255, Vol. I; p. 267 to p. 268, Vol. I; p. 324 to p. 329, Vol. I; p. 335 to p. 336, Vol. I; p. 347 to p. 348, Vol. I; p. 829 to p. 831, Vol. III; p. 837 to p. 838, Vol. III; p. 975 to p. 976, Vol.

III). This group carried out patrols in the area dependent on the aforementioned police unit, while also proceeding to detain people who were subsequently taken to the Precinct to be interrogated in the facilities of that unit, or who were removed by this special group of Carabineros to be taken to places that remain unknown to this date.

C.- That the facility used preferably for interrogations was the basement of the Third Carabineros Precinct of Osorno, according to testimonies, among others, of María Gladys Ávila Rosas (p. 657 to p. 658, Vol.

III), Antonio Ewaldo Molina López (p. 659 to p. 662, Vol. III), María Eufemia Millaquipai Guichaquelen (p. 260 to p. 264, Vol. I; p. 297 to p. 299, Vol. I). In this place, men and women were detained indiscriminately, and the torture consisted of the application of electric current to various parts of the body, rapes or attempted rapes of detained women, and the introduction of sticks into the anuses of men, among other described tortures.

Captain Adrián Fernández Hernández, who was in charge of the Third Carabineros Precinct of Osorno, appeared as the one giving the orders, seconded by his trusted group.

D.- That after September 11, 1973, the Carabineros of Chile established a frequent control post at the Pucatrihue junction, on the route connecting Osorno with Bahía Mansa, according to testimonies, among others, of Federrina del Rosario Barrientos Cancino (p. 567 to p. 569, Vol.

II), Héctor Vargas Soto (p. 367 to p. 369, Vol. II; p. 482 to p. 488, Vol. II), María Judith Aucapán Ancapán (p. 535 to p. 537, Vol. II). At this place, vehicles traveling through were controlled, including the buses that made the daily route connecting these two destinations, which belonged to the Carrasco or Tuchie company.

Carabineros, both from the Bahía Mansa Station and the Third Carabineros Precinct of Osorno, proceeded to identify and search the passengers, occasionally taking one or more of them off, sometimes detaining them, and subsequently indicating to the driver of the machines to continue on their way.

E.- That on October 5, 1973, Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez, 17 years old, a construction worker and member of the Revolutionary Students Front (FER), left his home in the city of Osorno bound for Bahía Mansa to bring food to his stepbrother Edgar Eugenio Cárdenas Gómez, a socialist militant who was highly sought after in the area following September 11, 1973.

Eyewitnesses told the family that he was forced to get off the minibus in which he was traveling by Carabineros who detained him and took him to an unknown destination. To this date, the fate of the affected person remains unknown.

The victim's stepbrother, Edgar Cárdenas Gómez, was executed by Carabineros on October 5, 1973, along with Jorge Aguilar Cubillos, an official of the Agrarian Reform Corporation (CORA) and a radical militant, and María Ester Bustamante Llancamil, a socialist militant.

The three had gone to take refuge in a fisherman's hut when Carabineros from the 3rd Precinct of Rahue in Osorno and the Bahía Mansa Station broke into the place, killing them immediately, according to the declaration, among others, of Ana del Carmen López Barría (p. 188 to p. 192, Vol. I; p. 302 to p. 308, Vol. I; p. 356 to p. 361, Vol. I; p. 466, Vol. II).

The official version of the authorities at the time was that the three extremists were killed when a group carried out a terrorist action against the Bahía Mansa Station. The same version added that there had been a confrontation, that the victims were involved in a subversive plan against the Armed Forces, and that a large quantity of weaponry and explosives had been found in their possession, according to the declaration, among others, of Ramón Plaza de los Reyes Bachmann (p. 312 to p. 316, Vol.

I).

F.- That in the days prior to his detention, that is, on October 5, 1973, Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez traveled to his stepfather's house in the Bahía Mansa area to bring food to his brother Edgar Cárdenas Gómez, according to the account of Inés Elena Bertín Yáñez (p. 32, Vol.

I), who was taking refuge there along with Ester Bustamante Llancamil and Jorge Aguilar Cubillos, who were being intensely sought by the country's new authorities, as stated in letter E) above. Likewise, on October 4, 1973, Gutiérrez Gómez traveled back to Osorno to buy food and medicine at the pharmacy where the wife of Jorge Aguilar Cubillos worked, returning on October 5 to Bahía Mansa, as has been indicated.

The press reported on October 6, 1973, that Gutiérrez's brother and the other two individuals had been executed by firing squad when they tried to assault a station, which, according to testimonies from Carabineros who served at the Bahía Mansa Station at the time, was false, since the assault on the Bahía Mansa Station never happened; rather, those detained by Carabineros from that same station were handed over to a Carabineros patrol from Osorno commanded by Captain Adrián Fernández Hernández, according to the account of Luis Humberto Pinol Carillanca (p. 173 to p. 176, Vol.

G.- That according to the account of Rodolfo Segundo Cheuquelaf Lorenzo (p. 760 to p. 762, Vol. III; p. 772 to p. 773, Vol. III; p. 1017 to p. 1018, Vol. III), there was a day when a young man was detained on suspicion at the Bahía Mansa Station, who was then released.

He notes that the day before his detention, his colleagues had seen him in the vicinity and had apprehended him; that when the incident regarding the assault on the Bahía Mansa Station occurred, Captain Adrián Fernández Hernández arrived at the detachment along with Carabineros Rafael Pérez Torres, Muñoz Albornoz, and the deceased Juan Canales.

They proceeded with the operation, and at one point, Fernández called Osvaldo Nelson Rosas Cárdenas (deceased, as stated on p. 1045, Vol. III). Immediately thereafter, Rosas Cárdenas called Cheuquelaf along with another of his companions and told them that, by orders of Captain Fernández, they were to go and detain a person traveling on one of the buses going from Osorno to Bahía Mansa, which could be from the Tuchie or Carrasco company, a person who would be between 18 and 20 years old and carrying provisions.

They headed to the Pucatrihue junction in a green double-cab pickup truck that had been provided to them by the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG), which was used at the time by Jorge Aguilar Cubillos in his capacity as an official of the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG), according to the testimony of Ana del Carmen López Barría (p. 188 to p. 192, Vol.

I; p. 302 to p. 308, Vol. I; p. 356 to p. 361, Vol. I; p. 466, Vol. II). They made the bus stop, checked it, and encountered the same young man who had been released two or three days earlier. He was indeed carrying a bag with provisions, an action that Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez was carrying out at the same time by bringing food to his brother Edgar Cárdenas Gómez, who was in hiding in Bahía Mansa, as narrated in letter E) above.

This young man was told to get off the bus, and the driver was ordered to continue on his way. Osvaldo Nelson Rosas Cárdenas identified the person, confirming the name that Captain Fernández had given him, which he had written down.

Rosas Cárdenas struck him with the butt of his rifle in the stomach, ordered him into the pickup truck, and they headed toward the station, where the young man was handed over to Captain Fernández. Subsequently, the detainees were loaded into the vehicles in which the Carabineros under the command of Captain Fernández were traveling—that is, those who were accused as attackers of the Bahía Mansa Station—along with the young man who was detained on the bus as indicated above.

Subsequently, the newspaper La Prensa of that time reported that three detainees accused of the assault on the station had died, according to the testimonies indicated above; Report of the National Commission for Truth and Reconciliation (p. 2, Vol. I); individual case information (p. 28 to p. 30, Vol. I); Report of the Museum of Memory and Human Rights (p. 68 to p. 76, Vol. I).

H.- That according to Héctor Vargas Soto, as per his declarations (p. 367 to p. 369, Vol. II; p. 482 to p. 488, Vol. II; p. 653 to p. 654, Vol. II), he states that he was a witness when Carabineros, among them Sergeant Rosas Cárdenas (deceased, as stated on p. 1045, Vol.

III), made a young man get off a minibus on the Osorno-Bahía Mansa route, specifically at the Pucatrihue junction, to then strike him with the butts of their rifles until his skull was destroyed. The Carabineros, numbering six or seven, arrived at that place in a vehicle belonging to the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG).

I.- That on the other hand, Mrs. Ana del Carmen López Barría, according to her account (p. 188 to p. 192, Vol. I; p. 302 to p. 308, Vol. I; p. 356 to p. 361, Vol. I; p. 466, Vol. II), states that she was the partner of Jorge Aguilar Cubillos, one of the alleged extremists who assaulted the Bahía Mansa Station on October 5, 1973.

That once the coup d'état occurred, he fled to a rural sector along with Edgar Cárdenas Gómez and María Ester Bustamante, since his name had appeared in the communiqués issued by the new authorities. That she never heard from Jorge Aguilar Cubillos again until October 6, 1973, when she learned that he was deceased in the morgue of the Osorno hospital.

She went to the hospital together with Jorge Aguilar Cubillos's mother, Mrs. Ema Cubillos, and his sister-in-law, Onorinda Aguilar Cubillos, where a nurse allowed them to see the body of Jorge Aguilar Cubillos, as well as the bodies of María Ester Bustamante and Edgar Cárdenas Gómez, all with gunshot wounds.

Jorge Aguilar Cubillos had 36 bullet impacts, one of them between the eyebrows with an exit wound, and the body of María Ester Bustamante had a large hole in her back, and she learned that the latter was pregnant.

J.- That continuing her account, Mrs. Ana del Carmen López Barría states that while at the Osorno hospital morgue, three officials from the Third Carabineros Precinct of Osorno appeared with orders to take them before Captain Adrián Fernández Hernández.

Upon arriving at the precinct, she was detained for 22 days, a period during which she was subjected to different types of interrogations, which included, among other tortures, the application of electric current to her breasts.

She also states that on the first occasion they interrogated her, they made her listen to a cassette with a recording of a young man identifying himself as Marcelo Gutiérrez Gómez, realizing that it was the brother of Edgar Cárdenas Gómez, who, as Fernández told her, had been detained by Carabineros of the Third Precinct under his command on October 5, 1973, and had been subjected to intense interrogation and torture to obtain the whereabouts of Edgar, Jorge, and María Ester.

One could hear Marcelo Gutiérrez Gómez screaming and begging them not to continue subjecting him to torture; he was crying and indicating that he did not know where his brother was. She adds that during the time they made her listen to the recording, which was for about three minutes, Marcelo Gutiérrez Gómez never indicated the place where his brother was in the company of Jorge Aguilar Cubillos and María Ester Bustamante Llancamil.

Immediately thereafter, Captain Adrián Fernández Hernández told her that if she did not cooperate, the same thing would happen to her.

K.- That in the same vein, Mrs. María Eufemia Millaquipai Guichaquelen declares (p. 260 to p. 264, Vol. I; p. 297 to p. 299, Vol. I), stating that she was detained along with Mrs. Ana del Carmen López Barría in the Third Carabineros Precinct of Rahue in Osorno, a place where she was also subjected to torture, which included the application of electric current for long minutes to her breasts, vagina, arms, elbows, temples, neck, legs, knees, and ankles; her torturers were men, and she recognized Captain Adrián Fernández Hernández among them by his voice.

All torture sessions were in the basement of the precinct and with her eyes blindfolded. She also states that when she was able to talk to Mrs. Ana del Carmen López Barría, the latter commented to her, crying, that her husband Jorge Aguilar Cubillos had been killed and was already buried, and that she had been detained for having sent food to her husband with a young man, who also ended up being detained, and that she did not know what had happened to him.

L.- That according to the declaration of María Angélica Vergara Herrera (p. 352 to p. 355, Vol. I; p. 444 to p. 445, Vol. II), she states that she was the wife of Edgar Eugenio Cárdenas Gómez and that she learned of the death of Marcelo Gutiérrez Gómez from the mouth of his lady, Mrs.

Inés Bertín Yáñez (deceased, as stated on p. 1047, Vol. IV), who told her that Marcelo Gutiérrez Gómez was detained by Carabineros of the Third Precinct of Osorno, who were in uniform and had taken Marcelo Gutiérrez Gómez off the minibus that made the Osorno-Bahía Mansa route.

M.- That in accordance with what was established in letters E) through L) above, it is inferred that the person being discussed is Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez, 17 years of age at the date of his detention, who traveled to Bahía Mansa, a coastal sector of Osorno, with the purpose of bringing food to his stepbrother Edgar Cárdenas Gómez, who was in hiding in that place along with two other people; that on October 5, 1973, Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez was detained by a Carabineros patrol at the Pucatrihue junction that connects Osorno with Bahía Mansa, who were carrying out an order from Captain Adrián Fernández Hernández, commissioner of the Third Carabineros Precinct of Osorno, with jurisdiction over the Bahía Mansa Carabineros Station, a patrol that was composed, among others, of the Carabinero Cheuquelaf Lorenzo. That prior to his detention on October 5, 1973, Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez had been detained on suspicion at the station of the aforementioned locality and had been released, as indicated by Luis Humberto Pinol Carillanca, who was the chief of the Bahía Mansa Station at the date the events occurred; that according to the merit of the described background information, to this date, the whereabouts of Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez remain unknown since the date he was detained by Carabineros belonging to the Third Carabineros Precinct of Osorno."

Delayed justice, but they will still have to go to prison: Three Carabineros accused of the kidnapping and death of a 17-year-old youth in Osorno in 1973

The minister for extraordinary cases of human rights violations for the jurisdictions of Temuco, Valdivia, Puerto Montt, and Coyhaique, Álvaro Mesa, identified the Carabineros captain at the time of the events, Adrián José Fernández Hernández, and the officers Jorge Daniel Garcés Garcés and Rodolfo Segundo Cheuquelaf Lorenzo as the perpetrators of the aggravated kidnapping of Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez.

According to the document to which Bío Bío had access in Osorno, the illicit act against the youth, who was then barely 17 years old and a member of the Revolutionary Students Front (FER), was perpetrated on October 5, 1973, in the Bahía Mansa sector.

During the investigation stage of the case, the minister managed to gather sufficient evidence to establish a series of facts, among them:

"(That) during the state of siege that was in effect after the coup d'état, and with the aforementioned captain in command of the 3rd Carabineros Precinct of Osorno, he organized and coordinated a special group of Carabineros (...) a group that carried out patrols in the area dependent on the aforementioned police unit, while also proceeding to detain people who were subsequently taken to the Precinct to be interrogated in the facilities of that unit, or who were removed by this special group of Carabineros to be taken to places that remain unknown to this date."

Among other points, the resolution maintains that the youth "left his home in the city of Osorno bound for Bahía Mansa to bring food to his stepbrother, Edgar Eugenio Cárdenas Gómez, a socialist militant who was highly sought after in the area following September 11, 1973."

Kidnapping, Disappearance, and Executions

Eyewitnesses told the family that he was forced by Carabineros to get off the minibus in which he was traveling, who detained him and took him to an unknown destination, with his fate remaining unknown to this day.

On the same day, the victim's stepbrother, Edgar Cárdenas, was executed by Carabineros along with two other militants, a radical and a socialist.

The three had gone to take refuge in a fisherman's hut when Carabineros from the 3rd Precinct of Rahue in Osorno and the Bahía Mansa Station broke into the place, killing them immediately.

After an extensive analysis and presentation of evidence, the minister concludes in his resolution "that on October 5, 1973, Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez was detained by a Carabineros patrol at the Pucatrihue junction that connects Osorno with Bahía Mansa, who were carrying out an order from Captain Adrián Fernández Hernández, commissioner of the 3rd Carabineros Precinct of Osorno, with jurisdiction over the Bahía Mansa Carabineros Station, a patrol that was composed, among others, of the Carabinero Cheuquelaf Lorenzo."

He adds, "That prior to his detention on October 5, 1973, Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez had been detained on suspicion at the station of the aforementioned locality and had been released, as indicated by Luis Humberto Pinol Carillanca, who was the chief of the Bahía Mansa Station at the date the events occurred; that according to the merit of the described background information, to this date, the whereabouts of Marcelo del Carmen Gutiérrez Gómez remain unknown since the day he was detained by Carabineros belonging to the Third Carabineros Precinct of Osorno," concludes the document reported by Radio Bío Bío.
