The alleged victim's father remains very sad and asked for his son up until the day
he died.
Luis Domingo's “disappearance” caused the family great anxiety. The alleged
victim's wife and children were also very much affected, emotionally and financially.
In 1992, Oscar, the alleged victim's son, drowned at sea.
The witness asked the Court to clarify the facts; that the truth about what happened
be told; that the remains of Luis Domingo be returned to them so that he can be
buried, and to know with certainty that he had died; and, if this is not possible, then,
at least, “a plaque or monument” should be made to recall those who had
disappeared, and that the name of her brother be cleared, because efforts had been
made to link him to the guerrilla.

Testimony of Rosalbina Suárez de Sauza, mother of the alleged
victim, Luis Domingo Sauza Suárez
The witness was approximately 67 years of age when her son, Luis Domingo,
disappeared. Her husband died in 1999.
Luis Domingo Sauza Suárez was 34 years of age at the time of his “disappearance.”
As of June 1987, he lived with his wife, Marina Cáceres, and his three children in
Cúcuta, where he had bought a house and began to work in the sale of merchandise.
In October that year, he was “disappeared.” Luis Domingo was an honest person,
very affectionate and hardworking, a good husband and father.
The witness has not stopped crying, praying and dreaming about her son since she
found out about his disappearance. She suffers from diabetes and high blood
pressure.
The witness asked that those responsible for the facts should be punished and that
the remains of her son should be returned to her.

Testimony of Marina Lobo Pacheco, sister of the alleged victim,
Álvaro Lobo Pacheco
The witness was 30 years of age at the time of the “disappearance” of her brother,
Alvaro. She lived in Ocaña with her mother, María Cristina Pacheco de Lobo, her
father, Marco Aurelio Lobo, her siblings, Aurelio, Lubin and Álvaro, and three
nephews and nieces, Nini Johanna, Diana Cristina and Álvaro Eliecer, the children of
her other brother, Eliecer, who lived in Aguachica.
Álvaro Lobo Pacheco was around 27 years of age at the time of his “disappearance.”
He was very hardworking and responsible. He had been working as a tradesman for
about six years. He had his own van and a truck, the latter owned together with
Angel María Barrera. They used these vehicles to transport merchandise - such as
electrical household goods and groceries - for third parties, who paid for the
transport from Cúcuta to Medellín. He kept himself and paid about 75% of the
household expenses, because he earned much more than the witness, who paid the
remaining expenses. They both paid for the schooling of their siblings, Aurelio and
Lubin, and for their mother's needs.
