g)
Regarding the Monte Rosa farm:
i.
In addition to Mr. Villacorta’s loss of earnings, the State should
compensate the loss of the Monte Rosa farm, which was sold in 1994,
as an immediate result of his execution;
ii.
The farm’s profitability allowed Mr. Villacorta to maintain his
family comfortably. After its sale, the Villacorta Arrivillaga family had
no other source of income; consequently, they had to find work to
contribute to the family expenses;
iii.
The farm’s coffee harvest was lost immediately after its owner’s
execution, because his widow and her children paid no attention to it
and, then, they could not meet the debts that began to accumulate.
The product of the farm was used to pay the bank loans taken out by
Mr. Villacorta Fajardo to maintain and manage the coffee farm, and
iv.
The accumulation of debts and the consequent sale of the farm
were caused directly by Mr. Villacorta Fajardo’s execution; therefore,
the State should repair this damage using criteria of fairness. This is a
determining factor for establishing a symbolic sum that, to some
extent, repairs the financial impact suffered by the Villacorta
Arrivillaga family.
Rigoberto Rivas González and his next of kin
h)
The loss of earnings of Rigoberto Rivas González may be determined
based on his salary, plus the corresponding annual bonuses under
Guatemalan labor legislation, and his life expectancy. 25% of this amount
should then be subtracted for personal expenses. Based on the salary that
appears on the “El Gráfico” payroll, the amount for Rigoberto Rivas is
seventy-four thousand four hundred and seventy-seven United States dollars
and two cents. This amount should be updated to its value on the date of the
judgment delivered by the Court;
i)
Regarding the Rivas Mansilla family, it is difficult to determine the
indirect damage it suffered, since it had no specific expenses following the
execution, because the funeral expenses were paid by the Carpio Arrivillaga
family. However, Mr. Rivas González’s widow had to seek financial support
from her siblings and then learn a trade in order to maintain her children and
her mother-in-law. These expenses should be considered using the principle
of fairness;
Alejandro Ávila Guzmán and his next of kin
j)
The loss of earnings of Mr. Ávila Guzmán, Mr. Carpio Nicolle’s driver,
are estimated to be one hundred and sixty-one thousand eight hundred and
fifty-six United States dollars and thirty-eight cents. This amount should be
updated to its value on the date of the judgment delivered by the Court;
k)
Regarding Mr. Ávila Guzmán’s family, no specific expenses have been
reported for indirect damage. However, following his execution, his widow and
