On September 23, 1973, the following individuals died:

Jaime Iván MENESES CISTERNAS, 28 years old, freelance photographer;

Miguel Segundo ORELLANA BARRERA, 32 years old, driver;

Jorge Bernardino PINTO ESQUIVEL, 53 years old, union leader; and

Nardo del Carmen SEPULVEDA MANCILLA, 24 years old, laborer.

The first three were detained during a military operation carried out in the Roosevelt neighborhood on the aforementioned day, in the morning hours, and were forced onto a public transport bus under the command of soldiers from the Buin Regiment, subsequently taken to a location that has not been possible to determine.

The fourth was detained at his workplace, located in the Conchalí commune, also by members of the Buin Regiment.

All of the bodies were found with multiple gunshot wounds, as recorded in their respective death certificates, on the Panamericana Norte that same day.

The Commission formed the conviction that the deaths of Jaime Iván Meneses Cisternas, Miguel Segundo Orellana Barrera, and Jorge Bernardino Pinto Esquivel constituted political executions outside of all legality and grave human rights violations, attributable to the actions of State agents, with their detention having been established and given the specific causes of their deaths.
