19 aggravated homicide, on June 30, 1992, the Committal Judge of Cajatambo concluded that “there were no grounds for opening committal proceedings against Andrés López Cardenas [and ordered] the continuation of the investigation, against such persons as may be responsible, should the crime of 85 homicide be established…” On July 2, 1991, the Provincial Prosecutor of Cajatambo filed an appeal 86 remedy against the resolution denying the initiation of committal proceedings, but that appeal was never resolved because, as explained in the following paragraph, the court declined jurisdiction. 78. In parallel to the criminal trial before the Provincial Court of Cajatambo, case file No. 2491, Lt. Juan Carlos Tello Delgado faced prosecution by the Third Permanent Military Court of Lima, where criminal committal proceedings (case file No. 859-92) were opened on June 11, 1992, for the crimes of 87 disappearance, abduction, and homicide. On that same date, the Permanent Court-Martial of the Second Army Judicial District (hereinafter “the Permanent Court-Martial”) instructed the Mixed Court of 88 Cajatambo to recuse itself from hearing the criminal proceedings against Juan Carlos Tello. As a result of the jurisdiction dispute, on July 22, 1992, the Cajatambo Court declined jurisdiction to the military 89 justice system and referred the proceedings to the Third Permanent Military Court of Lima. 79. The petitioners claim that in addition to the complaint lodged with the Mixed Provincial Prosecutor of Cajatambo, Mr. Porfirio Osorio lodged a complaint with the Attorney General of the Nation on May 7, 1991. According to their narrative, that complaint was later referred to the Special Prosecutor at the Office of the People’s Defender and Human Rights, but that the latter agency pursued no investigations. Similarly, the information submitted indicates that Porfirio Osorio requested the intervention of the Constituent Democratic Congress’s Human Rights and Peace Commission, in response to which its chair asked the Attorney General of the Nation to take the appropriate steps and 90 served documents on various agencies of the armed forces and of the Public Prosecution Service. (b) The criminal proceedings before the military courts (case file No. 859-92) 80. On November 25, 1992, the Permanent Court-Martial referred case file No. 24-91 to the 91 Third Permanent Military Court of Lima for its joinder with case file No. 859-92. On July 2, 1993, a 92 witness statement was taken from Porfirio Osorio Rivera and, on July 4, 1993, one was taken from the 93 defendant. The court also received a photocopy of radio messages sent by the defendant to his seniors between April 28 and May 1, 1991, letters signed by residents of different provinces in the north of Lima department endorsing his character, as well as other documents. 81. After pursuing these formalities, on November 30, 1993, the Third Permanent Military Court of Lima issued final report No. 019-93/erJMPL-2daZJE, finding that: …continuation XIV of the Criminal Code, covering Articles 319 to 324 of that legislation [...].” See: Annex 54.
