49 the splinters from the pavilion flying through the air. They thought their children would no longer be alive because the attack was very strong. They clearly heard the voice of the colonel of the criminal center saying “come out, surrender, come out”. She recognized her daughter[s voice yelling “stop your fire, stop your fire, we are going to come out, we request evacuation.” She was very happy to hear her daughter’s voice. Later on “the voices became silent, and all you could hear were gunshots from what sounded like a machine gun or a long weapon,” that were fired from time to time. The next of kin spent the night there, without knowing who was dead and who was injured, since they were not given any information. On May 10, 992, Mother’s day, the witness did not know anything about her children, and so she started looking in the morgue. Once inside “she saw the girls thrown on the floor naked and sewn up,” there were bodies piled up, and they were performing autopsies on other bodies on the table. Looking for her daughter and son she lifted and moved bodies, but she did not find them. She went to the International Red Cross, but they did not know anything. At approximately 5 p.m. she went to the Police Hospital. There someone told her “lady your daughter is dead, […] she is at the morgue, but now you should go to Carrion Hospital because that is where your son is, they just took him there, and if you do not pick him up today they will kill him.” The witness went to that hospital, which was very far away, but they did not let her in because visiting hours were over. However, she was able to enter by climbing a wall. She looked for the morgue, where she did not find any dead bodies, but she heard a moan that came from behind the door. She opened the door and there was her son “on a tin table” with a sheet tied around him, he had five wounds and a very high fever. When she found her son, a soldier came into the room and treated her very badly. She told him that if he had come to kill her son “he would have to kill [her] first.” At that moment a doctor came in and asked why the witness’ son was in the morgue if he was alive. The soldier left. They took her son to the Police Hospital. On May 11, 1992 she returned to the Police Hospital, but she was not allowed to enter. The doctor told her that her son was very ill and could die. She returned to the morgue but did not find her daughter. On May 12, 1992 she went to the National Office of Criminal Investigation and Support for Justice (DIRINCRI) because they told her that they had a list of all those who had died. They asked her for her daughter’s name and told her she was not on the list. She went back to the morgue again, where other mothers were also looking for their children. The officers of the DINCOTE did not let them in, but when one of them was not looking the witness was able to go in and ran to where the freezers were located. She was able to open a freezer and her daughter’s body “fell on top of her”. The witness mentioned that “she will never forget that” and she described that moment. On the floor there were three bags tightly closed and the witness opened them. In one of them she found Fernando Orozco, who was all cut up. He was the son of one of the women who was there. In the other bag there was a burned person, and in the other a piece of carbon. The witness’ daughter was missing part of her neck and it seemed, from the signs on her body, that she had been dragged and beaten. The doctor from the morgue helped her with a box to remove her daughter’s body from the morgue. The witness sent the body home with a relative, while she went back to the hospital to see her son.
