On October 16, 1973, 23 people were detained at the Campo Lindo, 24 de Abril, and Nuevo Sendero settlements. 22 of them remain forcibly disappeared to this day, while the body of the last individual was recently found and identified.

In the early hours of that day, an operation was carried out in the three aforementioned settlements in the town of Paine by personnel from the San Bernardo Infantry Regiment, accompanied by Carabineros and civilians from the area, who were armed and some of whom had their faces painted.

They traveled in a red truck, a military jeep, and other civilian vehicles. The personnel proceeded to detain twenty-three people, raiding homes and acting with unnecessary violence in some instances. They did not allow lights to be turned on, operating by the light of flashlights.

Twelve of these individuals belonged to peasant families living in the "24 de Abril" settlement; two belonged to peasant families living in the "El Tránsito" settlement, but who also worked as laborers at the "24 de Abril" settlement; seven belonged to the "Nuevo Sendero" settlement; one was a merchant and another an industrialist from the area:

The detainees were taken to the Paine Sub-Station, where some of them were seen by their relatives. From there, they were transferred to the San Bernardo Infantry Regiment, and their whereabouts have remained unknown since then, despite the multiple administrative and judicial efforts made by their families.

Currently, the investigation into all the events that occurred in Paine in 1973 is under the jurisdiction of the Visiting Judge Germán Hermosilla, with all previously initiated cases being consolidated.

In a document presented in 1975, the Government of Chile informed the United Nations that Carlos Gaete López appeared in the records of the Legal Medical Institute as having been admitted to that institution as deceased on October 18, 1973, at 12:20 PM, having undergone autopsy protocol No. 3393, and citing his identity card number as 5,338,566 from Santiago.

This information proved to be false, as Gaete López's identity card was issued in Buin and is number 53,491. For his part, the Visiting Judge, Juan Rivas Larraín, determined that "autopsy protocol No. 3393 corresponds to an unidentified (NN) male person sent by the Prosecutor's Office to that institution, who died in the town of Quilicura on October 13, 1973, at 8:00 PM."

Of the 23 people detained on October 16, 1973, 22 remain forcibly disappeared to this day.

Considering that all the victims were detained by State agents, which has been proven, and were taken to facilities under their control, from where they disappeared, the Commission is convinced that their disappearances are the responsibility of State agents, constituting violations of their human rights.

Date of Birth: 01-11-47, 25 years old at the time of detention. Address: Asentamiento 24 de Abril, Paine Marital Status: Married, 3 children Occupation: Agricultural laborer Political Affiliation: None. Date of Detention: October 16, 1973

Patricio Loreto Duque Orellana, 25 years old at the time of the events, married, with 3 children (the youngest born posthumously), an agricultural laborer with no political affiliation, was detained on October 16, 1973, in the presence of his wife and two children by armed military personnel who broke into his home at approximately 02:50 in the morning.

His arrest marked the beginning of an operation carried out in the Asentamiento 24 de Abril in Paine. The military personnel identified themselves verbally but did not present any warrant; despite this, the home was searched in its entirety and the head of the household was arrested.

His name was on a list carried by his captors. His wife demanded to be informed of Duque Orellana's destination, to which one of the soldiers replied that she should make inquiries at the Paine Sub-police station (Subcomisaría).

Given that their home was located very close to the main road, she was able to see her husband being loaded onto a red truck, heavily guarded by soldiers in combat gear. From that date, and despite the incessant search carried out by his relatives, Patricio Loreto Duque Orellana remains forcibly disappeared.

That night and into the early morning, in a vast operation carried out by the military under the orders of Army Lieutenant Andrés Magaña, 22 people were detained in their homes. The military personnel participating in the operation wore combat gear or gray uniforms with a cape of the same color; they wore armbands and either black berets or helmets.

Their faces were in some cases smeared with grease, and in others covered with balaclavas. They moved in several vehicles, including a red truck with side railings and a jeep. Everyone was heavily armed; they illuminated the rooms with flashlights, preventing the residents from turning on the lights.

The operation began at the first hour of October 16 and lasted until 04:00 in the morning. The people who were detained—all sympathizers of the deposed government and mostly settlers who had participated in the agrarian reform process—were listed on a document carried by the soldiers.

Their homes were searched and the detainees were taken from their houses, with the families warned that they would return during the day after giving statements in San Bernardo. Everyone was loaded onto a truck waiting on the main road.

The operation was carried out silently, and the victims' relatives were forbidden from looking outside. The operation began with the detention of Andrés Pereira Salsberg, an industrialist and owner of a machine shop; then René del Rosario Maureira Gajardo, a merchant, was detained.

Immediately after, the soldiers headed toward the sector corresponding to the Asentamiento 24 de Abril, where they detained Patricio Loreto Duque Orellana, the brothers Raúl Antonio, Silvestre René, and Jorge Hernán Muñoz Peñaloza, their brother-in-law Basilio Antonio Valenzuela Alvarez, Germán Fredes García, Carlos Enrique Gaete López, Carlos Alberto Nieto Duarte, Laureano Quiroz Pezoa, Rosalindo Delfín Hernán Muñoz, and Ramón Luis Silva Carreño.

Next, they went to the Asentamiento El Tránsito, where Pedro Antonio Cabezas Villegas and Roberto Servando Galaz were detained. Finally, they went to the Asentamiento Nuevo Sendero, where they detained Enrique Lazo Quintero, his brother Samuel Altamiro Lazo Quinteros and his sons Luis Rodolfo and Samuel Lazo Maldonado, José Domingo Adasme Núñez, Luis Alberto Gaete Balmaceda, and José Ignacio Gaete Maldonado.

On October 10, Carabineros from the Paine Sub-police station had detained Samuel Altamiro Lazo Quinteros from his home in the Asentamiento El Tránsito, who had been released after 24 hours of detention at said sub-police station.

This farmer was detained again in the early hours of October 16, 1973. Following his first detention, he had informed his fellow settlers that he had been warned by the Carabineros that in the following days, soldiers from the San Bernardo Infantry School would come and proceed to detain the settlers.

The farmers of said settlement who had approached the Sub-police station, where they had a conversation with Sergeant Reyes regarding their situation, had received identical information.

Of all the people detained on October 16, 1973, their presence in any detention center remains unknown. To date, there are no witnesses regarding this. Judicial records indicate that they were taken that early morning in the direction of the hills of Codegua, near Melipilla, where they were executed.

Their remains have not been found. The detention and subsequent disappearance of these cases are part of the repression in Paine in 1973. (Further information in the case of José Domingo Adasme Núñez).

Judicial and/or Administrative Actions

On December 7, 1973, a writ of amparo (habeas corpus) was filed before the Santiago Court of Appeals in favor of Carlos Enrique Gaete López, Rosalindo Delfín Herrera Muñoz, Basilio Antonio Valenzuela Alvarez, Patricio Loreto Duque Orellana, and the brothers Jorge Hernán, Silvestre René, and Ramiro Antonio Muñoz Peñaloza.

The filing of the amparo was handled by lawyer Andrés Aylwin A., at the request of the victims' families. Its case number was 687-73. The appeal was denied on January 8, 1974, as was its appeal before the Supreme Court on January 30, 1974.

The resolutions that did not grant the amparo petition were based on reports provided by military and administrative authorities, which indicated that the detention of the affected individuals was not registered.

On March 24, 1974, a mass writ of amparo for 131 people was filed before the Santiago Court of Appeals, which was assigned case number 289-74. Patricio Loreto Duque Orellana was included in it.

Authorities were consulted without being able to establish the particular situation of each of the individuals covered by the amparo. On November 28, 1974, the amparo was rejected. The resolution was appealed.

The Plenary of the Supreme Court confirmed the ruling on January 31, 1975, agreeing to appoint a Visiting Judge (Ministro en Visita Extraordinaria) to focus on the corresponding investigation. The appointment fell to Judge Enrique Zurita Camps, who on February 24 of that year initiated case number 106657 in the First Criminal Court of Santiago.

Duque Orellana's relatives were summoned to testify by Judge Zurita, leaving a new record of the circumstances of his detention.

On September 25, 1975, without having delved into any of the reported cases, the summary was closed for "inability to make further progress in the investigation." On September 29 of the same year, the Judge issued a ruling in the case of Duque Orellana, as well as in 27 other cases of detainees from Paine, temporarily dismissing the case for "not finding the existence of any criminal act justified." On May 10, 1976, the Santiago Court of Appeals approved the Visiting Judge's resolution.

On March 21, 1975, a complaint for alleged disappearance was filed before the Maipo-Buin Court of Letters, following the detention and subsequent disappearance of 23 locals from Paine, the vast majority of whom were farmers detained on October 16, 1973.

The case of Jorge Muñoz Peñaloza was included among these. The case for the group of affected individuals was assigned case number 24005-1, under Judge Javier Torres. The first investigative steps were ordered three months later, once María Inés López Ahumada and Teresa Celinda López Moya, the complainants, appeared before the Court to ratify the facts.

Starting in June, the first investigative steps were decreed; the National Executive Secretariat for Detainees and the San Bernardo Infantry School were officially requested for information. Both organizations, in their official responses, stated they had no information regarding the people consulted.

The Legal Medical Institute (Instituto Médico Legal), for its part, responded that the names of those 23 people did not appear in the index book of bodies admitted to that establishment. The Court, in turn, issued a broad order to investigate to the Carabineros and the Investigations police (Investigaciones).

The Carabineros limited themselves to taking statements from the 2 complainants, while Investigations, in addition to carrying out similar steps to those performed by the Carabineros, informed the Court that it had made inquiries in order to "locate and identify the people who apparently wore military uniforms on the day of the events, without favorable results." Without having decreed other steps, on November 26, 1975, the Court decided to close the summary and definitively dismiss the case, as "no presumptions appeared from the summary that the reported facts had occurred." On January 20, 1976, the Rancagua Court of Appeals confirmed the dismissal, establishing that it would be temporary and not definitive. The case was archived. On March 23, 1977, the case was reopened after a petition to that effect presented by the complainants was accepted. The request for reopening was based on the fact that 10 cases included in case 24005-1 appeared as part of a list of 63 people whom the Chilean government, at the 30th session of the UN in 1975, claimed were not "forcibly disappeared," as their relatives denounced, but were dead people whose bodies were recorded in the index books of the Legal Medical Institute. This list of 63 names was included in the document titled "Current Situation of Human Rights in Chile" (Volume II, pages 381, 382, 383). The information contained in the report, the complainants added, was contradictory to that which the Court had received from the Legal Medical Institute itself when consulted by official letter.

On April 3, 1979, the Judge of the Rancagua Court of Appeals, Mr. Juan Rivas Larraín, was appointed to continue hearing the case, in response to a request presented by the Catholic Church to the Supreme Court so that Visiting Judges could focus on the cases of forcibly disappeared persons throughout the national territory.

Thus, two years after the reopening of the case, upon Judge Rivas assuming the role, the first investigative steps were ordered to clarify the information regarding 10 forcibly disappeared persons, the subject of the proceedings, who appeared with contradictory information as already noted.

Judge Rivas sent an official letter to the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, requesting information regarding the background and procedures that allowed it to compile the list of "Presumably disappeared persons" who had been located in the records of the Legal Medical Institute of Santiago.

The response was received on October 30, 1979, by the newly appointed Visiting Judge, Mr. Humberto Espejo, after the creation of the Presidente Aguirre Cerda Court of Appeals, which, for jurisdictional reasons, was responsible for continuing the investigation, and whose new case number was 1-79.

The official response, signed by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated verbatim in one of its parts: "Such information was requested by Your Honor in view of the fact that the Legal Medical Institute, when asked about the same matter, has not found official letters from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Legal Medical Institute regarding said list.

In this regard, I inform Your Honor that the list contained on pages 381, 382, 383 of the aforementioned volume 2 appears with an illegible signature and a stamp that this Ministry understands corresponds to authorities of the Legal Medical Institute; otherwise, such a document would not have been circulated to international organizations.

Regarding how the list came into the possession of this Secretariat of State, it should be noted that there is no official documentation sent to the aforementioned Institute, so it must be concluded that it was requested verbally and delivered by memo to officials of this Ministry." Judge Rivas Larraín, at the moment he left his visit in case 24005-1, established that said list was false and that the autopsy protocols assigned to the forcibly disappeared persons corresponded to unidentified (NN) dead, whose identification had been impossible due to the lack of epidermis on their hands.

By December 1979, nine criminal complaints had been accumulated in case 1-79 against the staff of the San Bernardo Infantry School for the crimes of kidnapping in the persons of Pedro Hernán Pinto Caroca, Ramón Luis Silva Carreño, Laureano Quiroz Pezoa, Ramiro Antonio Muñoz Peñaloza, Silvestre René Muñoz Peñaloza, José Ignacio Castro Maldonado, Luis Alberto Gaete Balmaceda, José Germán Fredes García, and Carlos Gaete López.

Five complaints against Colonel Jorge Dawling Santa María for the cover-up of the crime of illegal arrest in the persons of Jorge Hernán Muñoz Peñaloza, Carlos Enrique Lazo Quinteros, Carlos Alberto Nieto Duarte, José Domingo Adasme Núñez, Samuel Altamiro Lazo Quinteros, Samuel del Tránsito Lazo Maldonado, and Luis Rodolfo Lazo Maldonado.

A complaint for the kidnapping and qualified homicide of Juan Guillermo Cuadra Espinoza and Ignacio del Tránsito Santander Albornoz, perpetrated by members of the San Bernardo Infantry School.

A complaint against Army Lieutenant Andrés Magaña Bau for the crime of illegal arrest in the person of René del Rosario Maureira Gajardo; a complaint for the kidnapping of Andrés Pereira Salsberg; and a complaint for the crime of kidnapping of Mario Enrique Muñoz Peñaloza against Carabineros Sergeant Manuel Reyes (further information regarding this last complaint in the account of Mario E.

Muñoz Peñaloza).

Regarding the accused Colonel Jorge Dawling Santa María, who in 1979 served as Director of the San Bernardo Infantry School, an official letter was sent to him on September 26, 1978, requesting all information he had from his department regarding the personnel of that unit who served in the months of September and October 1973.

The response did not arrive. The Court reported this behavior to the Court of Appeals, which on November 14, 1978, resolved in Plenary that the aforementioned Colonel should abide by the provisions of Article 191 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (that is, depending on his rank, whether he appears or not).

The official response finally arrived, signed by the new Director of the Infantry School, Carlos Meirelles Müller, in which he limited himself to stating that there was no intention to hide information, that there were documents with the requested information, and added that Colonel Dawling Santa María had handed over command and ceased to belong to the institution.

On February 7, 1979, in a new official letter, Colonel Meirelles was requested to provide the list of the institution's personnel as of October 1973, to which he responded that he did not have the authority to provide that information and that it should be requested from the Minister of National Defense.

Starting in April 1979, and with Judge Humberto Espejo in charge of the investigation, after the creation of the Presidente Aguirre Cerda Court of Appeals, which was territorially responsible for continuing the case, official letters were diversified in order to establish the identification of those who participated in the operations that occurred in Paine and its surroundings.

The Minister of National Defense was officially requested not only to inquire about the aforementioned personnel but also to request the appearance of Colonel Dawling Santa María, Lieutenant Andrés Magaña Bau—identified by the victims' families as the person in charge of the October 16, 1973 operation—and Colonel Pedro Montalva Calvo, Sub-director of the Infantry School as of October 1973.

In April 1979, Army Lieutenant Andrés Magaña Bau appeared before the Court, at which time he denied his participation in the October 16, 1973 operation, as well as in any other that had been carried out in Paine.

When confronted with relatives of one of the forcibly disappeared persons from October 16, René del R. Maureira Gajardo, he denied knowing the members of that family, despite the fact that they stated they had been together on more than one occasion at social events prior to September 11, 1973.

Regarding Colonel Jorge Dawling Santa María, the Court had been informed that, since August 1978, he had been appointed Military Attaché at the Embassy of Uruguay, a position that would last for more than a year.

For his part, Colonel Pedro Montalva Calvo, upon appearing before the Court on December 10, 1979, affirmed the existence of a Detention Camp at Cerro Chena dependent on the Infantry School, which he noted had ceased to function in December 1973 at the time he assumed the Directorship of the School.

Prior to that, its Director had been Colonel Leonel Köning Altterman, who gave written orders regarding who was admitted as a detainee. When the then-Director of the School, Colonel Köning, was summoned to testify, the Court was notified that he had committed suicide on June 21, 1979.

On December 12, 1979, Judge Espejo declared himself incompetent and sent the records to the Military Prosecutor's Office, given that all the complaints and lawsuits contained in this case (case 1-79) attributed the authorship of the arrests to personnel of the Armed Forces and Carabineros, both from the San Bernardo Infantry School and the Paine Sub-police station.

On March 6, 1980, the Court revoked the incompetence and ordered some investigative steps in order to advance the investigation. As a result, Colonel Jorge Dawling Santa María was summoned to testify again.

On April 2, 1980, the Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Raúl Benavides E., informed the Court that Mr. Dawling Santa María held the rank of Brigadier General and, in accordance with Articles 191 and 192 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, must testify in writing.

The Minister sent an erroneously formulated questionnaire, which led the Brigadier General to respond: "in relation to questions 2 through 13, I have no information whatsoever to provide."

On June 5, 1980, Judge Espejo declared himself incompetent for the second time, basing his resolution on exactly the same terms as the previous one. The resolution was appealed, and on July 25, 1980, the Court of Appeals revoked the resolution and ordered the Visiting Judge to prepare a new questionnaire to be answered by the Brigadier General, based on the accusations made in the complaints against him that are part of the process.

In July 1980, the Court received an official response from the Brigadier General, the content of which provided no information, arguing that in 1974 there were no longer written records at the Infantry School regarding military maneuvers and operations.

His official letter concluded by stating that he had brought the background of case 1-79 to the attention of the Army General Command, since he was accused in the transcribed complaints of participation as a cover-up in "alleged crimes" that he would have committed "in the line of duty."

On October 17, 1980, the records were definitively sent to the II Military Prosecutor's Office, at which time the jurisdictional inhibition took effect. On May 24, 1982, the case was totally and temporarily dismissed, as "despite the investigation being exhausted, the perpetration of the facts reported on page 1 and attributed to personnel of the Armed Forces and Order, subject to military jurisdiction, is not completely proven."

Such resolution was appealed and revoked in March 1984 by the Martial Court, which ordered investigative steps aimed at completing the investigation. During 1985, at least 26 Officers and Non-commissioned officers who served in September-October 1973 at the Infantry School testified.

All of them denied their participation in operations in Paine and its surroundings, and denied knowing about the presence of prisoners in the Chena Detention Camp as well as knowing of its existence.

On November 22, the Military Prosecutor of the II Military Prosecutor's Office, Enrique Ibarra Chamorro, became a party representing the Military Public Ministry and requested the application of the Amnesty Law D.L. 2991-78.

The Military Judge dismissed the case totally and definitively because the criminal responsibility of the persons allegedly accused of the reported facts had been extinguished. Such resolution was revoked in February 1992 by the Martial Court; this Court instructed that the case return to the summary stage and ordered the exhumation of the six graves in Patio 29.

Said exhumation could not be carried out by order of this Court, since in September 1991, in case 4449 AF of the 22nd Criminal Court of Santiago, the exhumation of all the remains of unidentified persons buried between September and December 1973 in the aforementioned patio in the General Cemetery had been carried out. The case, as of December 1992, continued in process.

It should be noted that in this case, investigations were also carried out regarding Patio 29 of the General Cemetery starting in November 1979, at which time Monsignor Ignacio Ortúzar R., in his capacity as Vicar General and Acting Vicar of the Vicariate of Solidarity, reported to the Court the existence of massive and irregular burials of people in Patio 29 of the aforementioned cemetery, which would affect nearly 200 graves.

From the investigation, the Court was able to conclude that at least 6 graves could yield information regarding forcibly disappeared persons included in the process. Between the years 1981-1987, the exhumation of those six graves was requested from the Court on five occasions, with the request being denied on the grounds that it was inconclusive given the time elapsed.

In August 1990, case 2-90 E was initiated in the Buin-Maipo Court of Letters with the appointment of the Visiting Judge, Mr. Germán Hermosilla, by the Presidente Aguirre Cerda Court of Appeals. Said appointment was due to a request to that effect from the Vicariate of Solidarity of the Archbishopric of Santiago, given the existence of illegal burials of people in the town of Paine that affected forcibly disappeared persons.

The background information on Patricio Loreto Duque Orellana was delivered to the Court.

On March 15, 1991, Mrs. María del Tránsito Venegas Cortés testified before the Visiting Judge, Mr. Germán Hermosilla, in her capacity as the mother of Jorge Reyes Cortés, who in 1973 had to perform his military service at the San Bernardo Infantry School.

Her words, which account for the fate of the 22 detainees on October 16, 1973, were recorded in the file. Verbatim, in one of its parts, she said: "a few days after they took my cousin Luisa's husband, Roberto Serrano, I went to visit my aunt Rosa's house and I saw that she was very desperate and crying over the fate of her husband.

So I told her 'don't cry anymore Lucha, your husband was taken by the soldiers, Jorge was with them.' I was referring to the fact that my son had to carry out this detention. My son Jorge had told me about this, a few months later, I don't remember exactly when; I knew about it a few days later as I said before.

They kept them for months without leaving after the Coup, so when he went to the house, he told me. He wasn't calm; he was scared, desperate, and not only him but also his companions. My son didn't know Roberto Serrano; when they went to their house, Jorge met Luisa.

He told me that these detentions were done at night. Yes, it is true that my son told me that it was his turn to shoot at Serrano, but that he asked a companion to change places with him. He also told me that if he said he wouldn't shoot, they would kill him.

This is true, I told Luisa, since she was taking clothes to her husband at Cerro Chena and they received them there, when Serrano was already dead." Jorge Reyes Cortés currently serves in the Los Andes Regiment, with his military rank unknown.

Although Mrs. María Venegas Cortez declared that she did not remember having indicated the hills near Codegua and Melipilla as the place of execution, the wife of Serrano Galaz did remember it, as recorded in her statements before Visiting Judge Humberto Espejo.

On April 22, 1980, Jorge Reyes Cortez appeared before the Court in case 1-79. In his statement, he denied any participation in the events; verbatim, in one of its parts, he said: "I never participated in any operation in Paine, I never knew there were detainees at Cerro Chena, nor did I recognize any of the detainees in the few times I had to be on guard when they arrived." The Visiting Judge has carried out various ocular inspections in rural sectors in the surroundings of Paine, without positive results for the case of the forcibly disappeared persons of October 16, 1973.

On August 22, 1991, case 4449 AF was initiated in the 22nd Criminal Court of Santiago, upon the commencement of the judicial investigation into the crime of illegal burial of persons who currently remain buried as NN in Patio 29 of the General Cemetery, information contained in a criminal complaint filed by the Vicariate of Solidarity of the Archbishopric of Santiago.

Anthropomorphic information on Patricio Loreto Duque Orellana was delivered in that case. In the month of September 1991, the exhumation of 108 graves in Patio 29 was carried out; currently (December 1992), the extracted remains are in the Legal Medical Institute undergoing an identification process.
