14 responsibilities that Ángel María had assumed previously. Jesús was depressed for a long time, because he was the closest to Ángel María. The witness endured very difficult moments because she depended entirely on her brother, who was “like a father” for her and her family, a reference point for respect and authority. She and her next of kin found it very difficult to assimilate the “disappearance” of her brother. They have still not accepted it. The fact that the events have not been clarified and that those responsible have not been prosecuted or punished makes the witness and her family feel indignant and impotent. Her cousin, José Erasmo, who was always like her bother, was also very much affected by the events, because Ángel María helped him financially; he even had to suspend the “driving lessons” that the latter was paying for. To have a little peace and tranquility, the witness and her family requested the Court to ensure that those responsible for the facts are punished, because “the impunity maintains their […] feelings of pain and impotence, and does not allow them to overcome their grief;” that they are informed of the whereabouts of the remains of the alleged victims in order to erect a “mural, crosses” or some form of identification in the place where the bodies are, or that they receive the remains in order to give them Christian burial.

About ten days after Antonio had “disappeared”, the witness’s uncles, Salomón and Jorge Flórez Contreras, went to look for him and a woman told them that “she had seen them [the tradesmen] pass by”; she also told them that they had “two hours to go back” or, to the contrary, “there would be no sign of [them] there.” They turned back and the case was reactivated through ASFADDES. Since her uncle’s “disappearance” everything changed; the family no longer had emotional and financial support. They endured great penury. The witness’s mother had to work to pay for her schooling and the needs of her grandmother, Librada Contreras. Margoth del Carmen, the witness’s mother, became very depressed, because she lived with pain, sadness and resentment, and this contributed to her death at an early age; she had a very good relationship with Antonio. Margoth del Carmen Contreras died on August 17, 1995, aged 39. The witness’s grandmother is always waiting at the door for Antonio. She stopped going out and is constantly in a state of nervousness and anxiety, because she has
