100 and the murder of Mrs. Yarce, and identified several of these individuals as associates of the Héroes de Granada Bloc, which is considered responsible for the crimes.491 The State has not submitted any information to the IACHR on any efforts made to identify and punish all those responsible for the abovecited threats, and determine how they may be connected to the murder of Ms. Yarce. 345. The statements of the convicted participants – Jorge Aguilar y Jhon Jhon Cairo Duran – and several decisions of the Office of the Prosecutor, also mention other potential intellectual authors behind the murder of Ms. Yarce.492 In the Defendant’s initial statement of Mr. Jorge Aguilar he testified that the leader of the Héroes de Granada Bloc was the man known by the alias Estartaz493 and Mr. Jhon Jairo Cano Durán mentioned Primo as the individual who gave the order to murder Mrs. Yarce, inasmuch as he believed her to be a “guerrilla member.”494 He referred to Primo as the leader of all of the commanders in the area, ranked higher in the hierarchy than Jorge Aguilar.495 Mr. Jhon Jairo Cano Durán noted in his initial defendant’s statement that he did not believe that Jorge Aguilar was involved in the crimes, and identified alias Jhony Loco as co-perpetrator in these crimes.496 On this topic, the State submitted no information during the merits stage to indicate that it has taken reasonable measures to investigate all individuals mentioned in these statements. The record before the IACHR only contains an arrest warrant for alias Jhony Loco, issued by the Office of the Prosecutor on September 6, 2007, without any indication of any effective execution of the warrant.497 346. Based on the proven facts of the case, it is also evident that potential involvement in the murder of Ms. Yarce by members of the public security forces has not been investigated. The State has forcefully contended before the IACHR that state agents have not been involved in these crimes.498 August 24, 2005; Annex 71.
