Levi Segundo Arraño Sancho, 27 years old, agricultural worker and President of the San Isidro Peasant Committee, in Quillota. The first 6 individuals had been detained since September 1973, and many of them presented themselves voluntarily to the “military authorities”; the last 3 were detained on January 17, 1974, and remain forcibly disappeared to this day.

On January 18, all of them were executed by decision of Fernando Paredes and Sergio Arredondo González. Witnesses reveal that the last three detainees were murdered and illegally buried inside the Infantry School on January 18, 1974, and confirm the participation in their kidnapping of a series of retired officers, among them Ángel Custodio Torres Rivera, who at the time held the rank of colonel and served as Head of Intelligence; the patrol commander, Captain Francisco Pérez Eghert; and the retired lieutenant colonel Sergio Arredondo González, who is being prosecuted as one of the main defendants in the Caravan of Death case.

Within the framework of the reopening of the investigation into the death of one of the suspects in the crime against the athlete Alice Meyer, which occurred in December 1985, the Human Rights Brigade of the PDI (Investigations Police) is locating former members of the OS7 Department of the Carabineros who investigated the case and focused their inquiries on the businessman Mario Santander Infante, the only defendant in the case.

It should be recalled that a few months ago, Minister Mario Carroza decided to accept a complaint filed by the family of Delfín Díaz Méndez, a person who, according to the conclusion reached by the civil police at the time, murdered Meyer and then committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree, later being found at ground level, wearing the young woman of German descent's watch on his wrist.

A new forensic report carried out by the pathologist Luis Ravanal determined that there was third-party involvement in the death of Díaz, a version that aligns with what was pointed out in the past by both the Meyer family lawyer, Marcelo Cibié, and the first judge presiding over the case, which was heard in the 12th Criminal Court of Santiago, Fernando Soto Arenas, both of whom always distrusted the proceedings carried out by the PDI.

According to police sources who revealed information to Verdad Ahora, Carroza is registering former members of the OS7 team who took part in the case and who might have information regarding certain forensic examinations carried out at the scene where Delfín Díaz, alias "El Coco," was found dead in the commune of Lo Barnechea.

It was stated to this media outlet that one of the former uniformed officers decided to testify directly to the minister in the city of Santiago and not to the detectives who are currently reinvestigating the case, given the distrust that still exists toward the civil police, considering that some of its members were accused of "kidnapping" Díaz from the "El Pollo Chico" establishment, just two weeks after the crime against Meyer.

The complaint filed by lawyer Álvaro González points to the four detectives who removed him from the aforementioned establishment as the material authors of the homicide of "El Coco," and to the former director of the PDI, retired General Fernando Paredes Pizarro, and the late lawyer for the Santander family, Sergio Miranda Carrington—a defender of several members of the military regime's intelligence services—as accessories.
