Both brothers had been detained in the early hours of that day, in the presence of family members, at their home located in the San Gregorio neighborhood, by Carabineros officers from the police station located in that sector.

Their bodies were found days later at the Legal Medical Institute.

Considering the evidence gathered, the Superior Council of this Corporation reached the conviction that Carlos Segundo and Oscar Emilio Araya Fuentes were executed by State agents while they were in detention and outside of any legal process, which constitutes a violation of human rights.
