14 that the boys showed signs of “torture, typical of the State security forces”. He also stated that the area called “Las Casetas” in 18th Street, is known to be a very dangerous area and that he had heard from the Casa Alianza street educators that Anstraum Aman Villagrán Morales “was apparently drinking beer with two men who were identified or recognized as police agents from the Fifth Corps, apparently [there was] some kind of discussion, shots were heard and the two men ran off and Anstraum […] died there from the shots.” Moreover, he added that the area of “Las Casetas” is in the center of the city, where there were probably about 300 people at the time of the events, among whom were certainly Gustavo Adolfo Cóncaba Cisneros, known as “Toby”, Julia Griselda Ramírez López, Rosa Angélica Vega and Micaela Solís Ramírez, all of them also “street children”. Based on information received from Aída Cámbara Cruz, on July 18, 1990, the witness denounced what had happened before the Office of the AttorneyGeneral, the Ombudsman’s Office, the National Police Force, and the Mixco Magistrate’s Court. He stated that the file at the Mixco Magistrate’s Court was composed of “a few pages” and made no reference to the torture that he had seen in the National Police Force’s identification photographs. The police report of March 4, 1991, did not mention the signs of torture found on the bodies of the victims either. While he was the private prosecutor in the case – he was later replaced by Rosa Carlota Sandoval, mother of Julio Roberto Caal Sandoval – the judge never summoned him. Moreover, not all the witnesses that he proposed were summoned, and the information that he contributed to the proceeding was not used in the investigation. Only about half the witnesses that he proposed in his complaint were called to declare. He stated that both the Judiciary and the National Police Force took an excessive time to investigate the events. He stated that he was frightened as a result of the denunciations made in the case. Three colleagues from Casa Alianza had to go to Canada because of threats they received during the investigation. In July 1991, three men came to look for him in an armored vehicle without license plates and, as he was not at Casa Alianza, “they covered the façade of our building with bullet holes”. He added that Rosa Carlota Sandoval, who later died in a traffic accident, apparently received threats. Gustavo Adolfo Cóncaba Cisneros, alias “Toby”, a “street child” who had been an eye witness in the San Nicolás Woods case and who had identified one of the police agents who had allegedly participated in the attack also died, apparently stabbed by another “street child”. He added that Casa Alianza is handling 392 cases of alleged crimes against “street children”, of which approximately 50 are for murder. Of the 392 cases, less than five per cent have been finalized by the courts, and almost half of them have been closed. Most of the perpetrators of these crimes were members of the National Police Force or other State security forces, or private police agents who were also under the aegis of the Ministry of the Interior.
