74. On January 21, 2004, at the 83rd Prosecutor’s Office, Mrs. Moreno examined photographs of the four men killed in the incident of November 20, 2003 (supra para. 72). Mrs. Moreno stated that “she could not be certain” whether any of these individuals was implicated in the murder of Joe Castillo and the injuries suffered by her and her son. Mrs. Moreno requested the following: “photographs taken while alive of [those who] were killed […]on November 20, 2003; [i]nvestigate the list […] that was seized from the [...] deceased and verify its authenticity and ascertain whether the name of Joe Castillo and hers [or] that of any member or employee of the Vicariate was on the list[…] and [...entrust] the competent agencies with the task of providing the agreed [m]easures of [p]rotection in [their] favor [...] because the police force [of] Miranda that had been assigned [had] provided an irregular custodial service.” 75. On May 27, 2004, the Support Network for Justice and Peace (hereinafter “Support Network”), which represented Mrs. Moreno before the domestic courts, requested the 20th Prosecutor’s Office to provide “information [about] Case 24-F20-817-03, which was provided,” according to the information supplied by this Prosecutor’s Office. 76. On June 22, 2004, the 83rd Prosecutor’s Office sent a letter to the 20th Prosecutor’s Office requesting cooperation in certain investigative procedures: an expert ballistic comparison test of the eight spent bullet cartridges and lead fragments recovered from the scene of the incident with the firearms captured from the individuals who died in the confrontation on November 20, 2003 (supra para. 72); collect photographs taken while alive of those allegedly involved in the killing of Mr. Castillo so that Mrs. Moreno might examine them; and retrieve the list captured from the individuals killed in the clash with police on November 20, 2003. 77. On August 10, 2004 Mrs. Moreno requested that the 83rd Prosecutor’s Office speed up the investigation into the murder of [her] husband […] and [that] the competent agencies take action in respect [of] the agreed [p]rotection measures in her favor [,...] since the police unit assigned ha[d] completely failed to provide custodial services. 78. On August 20, 2004 the head of the 20th Prosecutor’s Office contacted her counterpart at the 83rd Prosecutor’s Office indicating that it was necessary to send the CICPC “the expert report on the composite sketch […] in order to compare it” with a person allegedly involved in the attack against Joe Castillo and his family. The 83rd Prosecutor’s Office had requested a photograph of this individual who was allegedly “involved in numerous cases of murder and kidnapping in the area, and who was [currently] detained and […] there was a possibility that he was one of the perpetrators of the murder of Joe Castillo.” This person had been arrested, having been linked to killings other than the death of Mr. Castillo and the wounding of Mrs. Moreno and Luis Castillo, and firearms had been seized from him. On that same day the Machiques Office of the CICPC sent a letter to the 20th Prosecutor’s Office containing his photograph, which was received on August 27, 2004. 79. On August 20, 2004 the 20th Prosecutor’s Office sent an official letter to the CICPC, containing copies “of the composite sketch prepared by the National Criminology Office [and] of the “interview” with [Mrs.] Moreno at the 83rd Prosecutor’s Office.” This communication also stated that the 83rd Prosecutor’s Office and the 20th Prosecutor’s Office “were jointly […] charged with handling the content of Criminal Investigation No. 24-F20817-2003 and the CICPC internal record No G-410-113.” 19
