Marta del Carmen CANO VIDAL, 34 years old, was a housewife.
Near midnight, while a curfew was in effect, military personnel conducting control operations in the población El Bosque Nº1 (Santiago) fired their weapons. A bullet struck her in the head while she was inside her home. Several other projectiles hit her residence. Testimonies and ballistic reports sufficiently confirm that the shots originated from military weapons.
This Commission is convinced that Marta del Carmen Cano was a victim of human rights violations for which State agents, who made excessive use of force, are responsible.
