205. Accordingly, the Court takes note of the statements of the presumed victims303 as well as the psychological opinions prepared by the expert María Cecilia Kirby Villa 304 and the statement of César Augusto Luna Valle, made during the public hearing before the Court. In this regard, the Court notes that a close connection between the family members and Mr. Luna López was demonstrated, given that, according to the statements, they were very united and close-knit family group. They regarded him as the pillar of the family, the provider and protector, the one who imparted discipline as well as wise guidance to his children.305 Rosa Margarita Valle Hernández, the wife of Mr. Luna López, described her emotional state as follows: “I lost my life partner of 21 years and the person who offered financial and emotional stability to my home and my life. I made the decision to cling to my children and fight to educate them and make them good people, a purpose that […] would not only help to honor the memory of my husband but would also realize the dreams we shared from our youth to make a home.”306 206. From the statements rendered to substantiate this case, it is evident that the sudden and violent death of Mr. Luna López has caused consequences of a psychological, personal and emotional nature in the aforementioned persons and has given rise to deep pain, sadness and suffering.307 Similarly, the Court understands that the events caused the disintegration of the family308 and the assumption of new roles within it. In this regard, they stated that Mr. Carlos Luna Valle was forced to emigrate to the United States for a period of 10 years for economic reasons, discontinuing his studies; 309 Mr. César Luna Valle took on the role of father to his younger siblings, who were unable to return to a normal childhood and adolescence given the restrictions placed on them by the constant fear of reprisals. 310 Mrs. Rosa Margarita Valle Hernández stated that she was emotionally affected by no longer being able to depend on the financial, moral and emotional support of her husband, and 303 Cf.
