18 been punished, “because […] in Villavicencio there are always ‘paracos’, she thinks that it is dangerous, and she does not want to comment or inquire because she is afraid for her sons. b) Esther Pinzón López, sister of Luis Eduardo, Enrique, José Alberto and Jorge Pinzón López When her mother arrived from Mapiripán she was very sad and she told her that on the day of the massacre some hooded individuals came to take her brothers and they did not see them again. Subsequently, her mother began to feel ill: “she arrived in a daze, like in shock, her chest hurt, she went to a doctor but did not tell him about what happened out of fear, she had chest pains, attacks[. S]he was afraid when it rained and she had nightmares.” In this way, her mother “deteriorated” and died due to the massacre. She, in turn, upon hearing that her brothers were missing, felt “grief, depression [and she felt] lonely, as they were very attentive of [them and] gave them very important things.

She has never been in Mapiripán, but they told her of the massacre and that there were “beheaded people, chopped into pieces, that on [her] sister’s farm they took her spouse and her brothers.” After what happened to her sister, her mother and her sister’s daughter left for Villavicencio, where they met her; this “meeting was horrible.” Afterwards, they went to Bogotá and went through a tremendous process with their mother, who, due to the facts,
