62 chosen by the victims, including the cost of the necessary medicines if applicable, after the medical evaluation of each one of them. The State objected to this request. 203. Upon verifying the suffering caused to the next-of-kin of Mr. Anzualdo Castro, the Tribunal deems it is convenient to order the State to provide medical, psychological and psychiatric treatment, free of charge, in an immediate, adequate and effective way, by means of specialized public health care institutions, to those next-of-kin who were considered victims by this Tribunal. The State shall take into account the sufferings of each one of the beneficiaries, for which it shall previously conduct a physical and psychological evaluation. Moreover, the treatment must be provided for as long as they need it and must include the medicines they may eventually require. D) Reparation, compensations, costs and legal expenses D(1) Pecuniary damage 204. The Court’s case law has developed the concept of pecuniary damage and the cases in which compensation therefore is due.236 205. The Commission requested the Court to establish an appropriate amount of compensation, under the principle of equity, for pecuniary damage and it considered that the injured party is entitled to such claims. The representatives, in addition, presented specific requests as to pecuniary damage. D.1.i) Consequential damages 206. As to the expenses incurred in order to determine the whereabouts of Kenneth Ney Anzualdo Castro, the representatives noted the activities carried out by his next-of-kin to try to locate him since the day of his disappearance, which involved travelling to different parts of the country; therefore, they incurred in expenses amounting to, approximately, US$ 900.00. Moreover, the family spent US$ 1.000 in the hiring of an investigator’s services. Even Mr. Rommel Anzualdo Castro economically helped the rest of the family from Spain. In turn, considering there are no receipts of the expenses incurred in light of the lapse of time, they request the Court to equitably determine the reimbursement for the expenses incurred by the entire family regarding the criminal complaint, the participation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the judicial actions taken. Regarding the health expenses, the representatives also requested the Court to equitably determine the amount that may correspond for medical care and medicines for Mrs. Iris Isabel Castro Cachay de Anzualdo, who, after the disappearance of her son, had health problems that implied expenses. Moreover, they stated that the son of Marly Arleny Anzualdo had to go to psychological sessions on six occasions due to the disappearance of his uncle, and such expenses form part of the pecuniary damage. Finally, the representatives pointed out that the Anzualdo family was forced to close the small shop they run, from December 1993 to April 1994, which they considered it constituted damage to family wealth and requested the Court to equitably determine the compensation that may correspond in that regard. 236 This Tribunal has established that pecuniary damage involve “the loss of or detriment to the victims’ income, the expenses incurred as a result of the facts and the monetary consequences that have a causal nexus with the facts of the sub judice case.” Cf. Case of Bámaca Velásquez V. Guatemala. Reparations and Costs, supra note 9. Para. 43; Case of Perozo et al. V. Venezuela, supra note 6, para. 405; and case of Ríos et al. V.
