On September 20, 1973, the lifeless bodies of Felipe Porfirio CAMPOS CARRILLO, 23 years old, a Kinesiology student, and Jinmy Freddy TORRES VILLALBA, 19 years old, an Engineering student—both Ecuadorian nationals—were found on the south bank of the Bío Bío River.

The bodies showed multiple gunshot wounds. The local press ran the headline: "Two extremists found riddled with bullets." A national newspaper, for its part, stated on September 28, 1973, that both young men were not "extremists, but lived with individuals who were, and that they had been victims of a political vendetta."

Through credible testimony, this Commission has been able to verify that both students were held at the Fourth Precinct of the Carabineros in Concepción.

Thus, this Commission is convinced that Felipe Campos and Freddy Torres were victims of political execution by State agents, who violated their right to life. This conviction is based on the established fact of their deaths by multiple gunshot wounds; the verified evidence of their detention at the hands of the Carabineros; and the use of similar procedures nationwide against foreign citizens residing in the country, as well as the existence of several incidents of the same nature in this area.
