He saw that they were taking him towards the plaza of Perulapía to where the trucks of the Army were waiting for him…. He recalls that afterwards they found out that the child’s family had been massacred and that the child was left there where they had killed his mother and another small brother…. He recalls that the child walked about as if lost, without knowing what had happened, he was walking alongside the group of soldiers…. That he does not know where the soldiers went with the child but that it is obvious that they took him to the Air force, for they were soldiers from the Air Force who were taking him, he knows that the child did not stay in Perulapía….
