. They locked him in the Tower, and while trying to escape, he jumped and broke his leg. It was said that DINA personnel had killed him… The torture applied to detainees at Villa Grimaldi was as follows: on one occasion, when I was on duty at Villa Grimaldi, I was called to assist in the interrogation of a detainee, for which I had to go to the wooden house located behind the barracks; “Oscar” Andrade was in charge of the interrogations.

This detainee was being subjected to electricity on his body on the so-called “Parrilla” (grill). My contribution was only to hold the detainee down. In this type of session, there were generally three officials: one of them asked the questions, another applied the current, and the third was the one who tied up and held the detainee… Other tortures that I heard were applied at Villa Grimaldi is that, on one occasion, Marcelo Moren Brito made a detainee talk by striking him with a rod, after other agents had failed to extract information from him.

It was rumored that Moren Brito himself liked to drive vehicles over the bodies of the detainees. He did not drive; he only directed.” On another occasion, from the torture room located at the back of the Villa Grimaldi barracks, the operatives who were torturing a detainee sent for a guard to assist them.

The assistance consisted of the fact that the detainee had had the veins in both arms cut, but it was necessary to cut one last vein so that he would die, and since the operatives did not dare to do it, they wanted one of the guards to do it.

Marcelo Moren Brito also liked to pull out the detainees' teeth; he did this himself with pliers. As for Eduardo Lauriani, he was the head of a group. I met him at Villa Grimaldi. He was like a “madman,” he was hyperkinetic (fs. 23968, 28252).
