Among those killed were Freddy Antonio Arias Arias, on August 3, 2004, or on September 3, 2004; Víctor Hugo Maestre in early October 2004; Héctor Pacheco Montero on November 5, 2004; Pervis Pacheco on November 8, 2004; Rafael Cristóbal Arias on November 15, 2004; on February 7, 2005, Hermes Enrique Montero and his wife Noemí Pacheco Zabatá – who was 13 years old and pregnant; Claudino Arlantt on May 15, 2005; José Luis Carrillo Maestre on July 1, 2005, and Jaider Julio Mendoza Maestre, between July 3 and 5, 2005.
