Jorge Wladimir Quintanilla Labra died that day at 1:30 a.m., inside the Lo Valledor market, due to asphyxiation, as certified by the Medical Death Certificate from the Legal Medical Institute.

According to the judicial proceedings initiated in the Military Justice system to investigate his death, on February 3, 1982, at approximately 10:00 p.m., Jorge Quintanilla and other individuals were detained on suspicion of robbery and theft by two Carabineros officers from the Buzeta Sub-precinct and subsequently transported to the interior of the Lo Valledor market.

At this location, Jorge Quintanilla was taken into the facilities of the market's private security guards, where the police officers and three security guards proceeded to interrogate and torture him for nearly half an hour using punches, kicks, and blunt objects, with the aim of obtaining information regarding robberies and thefts that had occurred in that area.

To muffle his screams, one of the carabineros ordered a guard to place a rag in his mouth.

Following the beating, while Jorge Quintanilla was in a semi-conscious state, they threw him to the ground face down, which prevented him from breathing and, ultimately, caused his death.

This circumstance is corroborated by the report from the Criminalistics Department of the Investigaciones police, which attributed the death to "asphyxia by suffocation of a lethargic subject, with his face resting on the dirt floor."

The Court Martial, reviewing the sentence pronounced in the case by the Military Court, sentenced the two Carabineros officers to terms of 3 years in prison for the crime of unnecessary violence resulting in death and 541 days for serious injuries, respectively. The security guards were given a 60-day prison sentence as accomplices to the crime of serious injuries.

Considering the evidence gathered and the investigation conducted by this Corporation, the Superior Council reached the conviction that the death of Jorge Wladimir Quintanilla Labra occurred as a consequence of the torture to which he was subjected by State agents, with the participation of private individuals acting under their orders.

For this reason, it declared him a victim of human rights violations.
