21 116. On July 11, 1991, Mr. Viviano Hilario Mancha, the father and grandfather of the missing Ramón Hilario Morán and Héctor Hilario Guillén, came across a dog with a bloodstained muzzle at the entrance to the Misteriosa mine in the community of Huachocolpa. Accordingly, he looked into the mine entrance where he saw 35 the half buried body of his grandson, six-year-old Héctor Hilario Guillén, together with other bodies that he was 36 unable to recognize. Mr. Viviano Hilario Mancha Stated that at the entrance to the mine he saw two bundles of 37 dynamite, so, thinking that they were going to explode, he left the spot and reported the find the following day, July 12, 1991, to the Office of the Huancavelica Provincial Prosecutor and Huancavelica Examining Magistrate’s 38 Court. That same day, July 12, 1991, the Directive Council of Santa Barbara campesino community requested the Huancavelica Mixed Provincial Prosecutor's Office to carry out the removal of the 14 bodies of the disappeared 39 persons. 117. The procedure for the removal of the bodies, set for July 14, 1991, could not be carried out because the group of villagers that went to assist the magistrate’s court was stopped and prevented from reaching the 40 mine by soldiers at an abandoned house near the mine, who kept them there from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. According to the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, two of the villagers who were stopped testified that at approximately 3:30 p.m. they heard an explosion “caused by the fact that the soldiers were dynamiting the entrance to the shaft to erase the traces of the massacre and then threw the human remains into a 41 very deep ravine.” 118. Having returned from Acobamba and being unable to find his son, on July 15, 1991, Alejandro Huamaní Robles, the father of Elihoref Huamaní Vergara, filed a complaint with the Office of the Huancavelica Provincial Prosecutor for Crime Prevention, in which he alleged the detention of Elihoref Huamaní Vergara by 15 42 members of the Army on July 4, 1991, and that he did not know of his whereabouts ever since. He reiterated the 43 complaint on July 18, 1991 to the Office of the Huancavelica Senior Superior Court Prosecutor. On July 23, 1991, 35 Appendix 10.
