12 identification of the soldiers mentioned as responsible for the facts; neither the Supreme Court of Justice nor the Attorney General’s office has followed up on this request. A request should be made for the judge to receive the statements, as defendants, of the former members of PAC, military agents, members of the Judicial Police, and soldiers who have been identified as participants in the massacre. Also, the Army should be asked to provide information on the officers and soldiers who were serving in that part of the country at the time. In addition, the bodies of the victims should be examined to verify whether there is evidence of the type of weapons used and any other kind of information. d) Statement of José Fernando Moscoso Möller, Archeology graduate, with a postgraduate degree in Latin American Studies The first exhumation (trenches 1 to 21) was conducted in Plan de Sánchez on June 14, 1994, and the second exhumation (trench 22) on August 14, 1996. At the time of the first exhumation, no work was done on trench 22, because the office of the Baja Verapaz Auxiliary Prosecutor did not authorize this until later. Two clandestine cemeteries were found in the village of Plan de Sánchez. The first comprised 16 trenches that contained osseous remains, 3 trenches with artifacts only, and two trenches where nothing was found. The other cemetery had one trench with osseous remains. The minimum number of victims in the first 21 trenches was 84, based on the count of the most-often encountered bone. Of the 84 victims counted, it was possible to identify 25. Four victims were found in the second clandestine cemetery, and they were subsequently identified. Since a large part of the osseous remains were calcined and, according to testimonies, some of the non-calcined corpses were buried in other places by the next of kin themselves, it was not possible to determine whether there were more victims. From his experience of forensic anthropology and exhumations, and from the facts that have been narrated, he can conclude that the findings in the 21 trenches where exhumations were conducted lead to the presumption that the events that occurred in Plan de Sánchez were consistent with an operation designed to destroy and annihilate the Maya-Achí indigenous group; the majority group in the region. * * * 33.
