On September 12, 1973, Arturo Ramón SAN MARTIN SUTHERLAN, 36 years old, a photographer, executive at Editorial Quimantú, and a socialist militant, was killed.
The victim, who had gone out on September 11 to take photographs in downtown Santiago, was wounded by gunfire while doing so, as observed by witnesses. Taken to the Posta Central, he passed away at 05:30 on September 12, as indicated by his death certificate.
The Commission formed the conviction—without having received testimonies that provided an exact account of the manner and circumstances in which Arturo San Martín was wounded—that his death was a consequence of the violence prevailing in the country at that time; basing its conviction on the direct cause of his death and the period in which the events that led to it occurred.
