Gabriel Gonzalo Panes Muñoz died that day at 21:00 hours, on a public thoroughfare, due to complicated craniocerebral and thoracic gunshot wounds, as recorded in the Medical Death Certificate from the Legal Medical Institute.
On the morning of September 11, Carabineros personnel arrived at the textile factory where Gabriel Panes worked, detaining him and other workers.
According to statements from the company manager, all the workers were taken to the Estadio Nacional, except for Gabriel Panes Muñoz, who was taken to the Estadio Chile. The declarant added that he later identified his employee's remains at the Legal Medical Institute, a fact that is also documented in the Autopsy Protocol.
Considering the evidence gathered and the investigation conducted by this Corporation, the Superior Council reached the conviction that Gabriel Gonzalo Panes Muñoz was executed outside of any legal process by State agents who held him deprived of his liberty, a situation constituting a human rights violation.
