that person did not provide any relevant information. 105 Also, according to Mr. Jaime Antonio Omeara the
person identified with the alias "Rambo" visited their home "[...] and he asked if the Omeara family was in"
reporting "that he was from the UNASE group and was investigating the disappearance of MANUEL
GUILLERMO."106 According to Mr. Jaime Antonio Omeara, his sister-in-law FABIOLA arrived at that moment
and told "Rambo" "why do you want to know something if you are complicit in the disappearance of
GUILLERMO? [...] He said he was the authority and I told him that whether he was the authority or not, I did
not want to see him there, he left the house, started up his bike and left [...].”107

On September 22, 1994, a telephone call was received at the DAS of Aguachica detailing the
location of Guillermo Manuel Omeara Miraval’s body.108

On September 23, 1994, the Nineteenth Delegated Prosecutor, a coroner and DAS officials,
travelled to a location around the "La Granja" farm and found Manuel Guillermo Omeara’s body.109 The body
was discovered "in a ‘supine’ position, with the hands tied with thin black nylon towards the rear behind the
back. A black scarf with the initials ‘ACG’ was found beside the body, with the flag of Colombia and two
crossed rifles." 110 The details of the exhumation recorded that the body had been buried for more than eight
days. Present at the exhumation were José Miguel Miraval (his uncle), Fabiola Álvarez Lozano and María
Omeara Carrascal (his aunt), who identified the body of Manuel Guillermo Omeara.111

105 In this regard, Mrs. Teresa Omeara said she had contacted him because "it was important to talk to him because I thought
suddenly, he, being in the military, could help to find to my brother GUILLERMO because we felt that none of the authorities cared about
looking for my brother. " In this regard, while looking for him at the Town Hall "I told him about GUILLERMO and he was like he did not
know, I do not know if he knew or not, and he told me not to worry, that he was going to collaborate to see what he could do. The next
day he came to my house, he came several times to my house and I found it strange that he questioned me so much about GUILLERMO, if
I knew something, if I knew who had taken him and also asked about my dad, if we knew who were the perpetrators who attacked my
father, I even made the mistake of telling him quite confidently, that my dad was with the UNASE and he was surprised [...] he asked me
why I was asserting such things and I said it was not just me, they were the people who saw him and I told him that they were people
who were still alive [...] he stayed a few days, but suddenly went away and we didn’t learn any more about him. He had told me he had
been moved to Aguachica to accompany the Mayor of Aguachica, but the strange thing is that if he had been moved to Aguachica, why did
he remain so little time here in Aguachica. In the days after he left Aguachica, was when GUILLERMO’s body appeared.” Sworn statement
