For example, César Palencia described how his father, Francisco Catalán, was shot while holding another of his sons in his arms, after pleading with the soldiers for mercy, saying, “Sirs, don’t kill us for no reason[;] we haven’t done anything[;] don’t be so unfair.” 55 The throats of some of the victims’ corpses were later cut with bayonets.56 30. Based on information supplied by the petitioners and the State, the Commission finds it to be demonstrated that, aside from the 2 individuals murdered by the guerrillas and the 5 patrol members murdered by the army upon entering the village, at least 38 other villagers of Los Josefinos, among them men, women, and children, died as a result of the massacre. Concretely, as regards adults, to date, it has been possible to identify the following 4 women: Elvira Ramos Moran, Isabel Hernández Pineda, Teodora Hernández Medina, and María Inés Muralles Pineda; and the following 18 men: Emilio Alfaro Alvizures, Jorge Antonio Baldizón, Ricardo Batres Flores, Damián Crisóstomo Pérez, José Galdámez Alemán, Cristóbal Rey González González, Sarvelio Linares Navarijo, César Humberto Nacho Marroquín, Francisco Catalán, Abel Regalado Guerra, Pablo Eugenio Méndez Batz, Faustino Osorio, Alfonso Hernández de la Cruz, José Dolores López, Henry Armando Alfaro González, Luis Emilio Alfaro González, Angel Valiente, and Patrocinio Camey. In addition, to date, it has been possible to identify the following 14 children who were also executed during the massacre: Víctor David Berdúo Mauricio, who was only 6 hours old; Norma Morales Alonzo, who was just 2 days old; Carlos Antonio Ajanel Ramos, 10 months old; Roni (Rony) Amilcar Catalán Muralles, 2 years old; Emilia Ajanel Ramos, 3 years old; Edgar Alfaro González, 6 years old; Juana Ajanel Ramos, 8 years old; Edie Alfaro González, 8 years old; Josefina Ajanel Ramos, 10 years old; Olga Marina Catalán Muralles, 10 years old; Dominga Patrocina Puluc Saban, 13 years old; Esvin Rolando Palencia Muralles, 14 years old; David del Cid Patzan, 15 years old; and Eleuterio Puluc Saban, 17 years old. 31. The Commission also finds it proven that the following very young children died from a lack of food during the escape: Rigoberto Hernández Arévalo, 15 months old; and Leiliy (Leily) Eleany Batres Cordero, 4 months old. The story of the two was recounted by the petitioners in their concluding observations;57 however, their names were not included in the list of persons executed in the massacre. In that connection, the IACHR notes that the CEH said that “in the course of their displacement, villagers were subjected to conditions that caused their deaths, since they were very weak and lacked food, which made them easy prey to disease or starvation.”58 The Commission takes into account that the State clearly indicated that it would only pay (and indeed only paid) economic reparation in connection with this case to those who were killed during the massacre, not to those who died as a result of the armed conflict either before or after the massacre at Los Josefinos,59 since, with respect to the victims who did not die “directly in the massacre of April 29, [their] case is being handled by the National Compensation Program.” 60 However, bearing in mind that the State did compensate the families for the death of both children in the context of this case,61 the IACHR has included them as direct victims of the massacre. 32. In addition, at least two people were directly removed from their homes by National Army personnel during the massacre. They were: José Álvaro López Mejía62 and Fabio González.63 A third individual, Florencio set fire to his house and then shot to death his wife, Elvira Ramos, and four of their children, Josefina, Juana, Emilia, and Carlos Antonio Ajanel Ramos, who were between the ages of 11 years old and 11 months old. 55 Annex 01.
