14 guarantees. He deemed that the fact that Juan Humberto Sánchez bore arms and wore a uniform constituted flagrancy. However, when he analyzed Annex 1 of the application and stated that he had not signed that document, he clarified that the information contained in it established that Juan Humberto Sánchez was accused of crimes against private property. Nevertheless, he was released, as the villagers who had complained against him did not show up. Then he stated that he did not know why, if he bore weapons of an unauthorized caliber, he was released the following day, and he emphasized that a person who uses a rifle to frighten people, assault people and rob them is dangerous. The armed forces learned, through the media and through the investigation carried out the by commander of the Tenth Battalion, the characteristics of the persons who had participated in the second detention, and they reached the conclusion that it was carried out by people with their faces covered, wearing beards, who were dirty and wore boots, for which reason they concluded that no members of the armed forces were involved in the detention. They had no information on participation by officer Ángel Belisario Hernández in the murder, and the latter was discharged in 1996, the year in which the witness left his post, and up to that date no arrest warrant had been received. As he stated to “La Prensa,” there are documents and information on the non-participation of the armed forces in the murder. That information can be requested from the file, as he does not remember having transferred it to a criminal investigation and there was no request in that regard. He cannot recall whether on July 28, 1992 he ordered a military helicopter to go to the area of Santo Domingo, to take Juan José Vijil to Tegucigalpa. e) Testimony of Enmanuel Flores Mejía, former commander of the Tenth Infantry Battalion In 1992, he was the commander of the Tenth Infantry Battalion, which had its headquarters in the city of Marcala, Department of La Paz. His functions included command over a border unit, which was supposed to act in support of the population. Second lieutenant Ángel Belisario Hernández was under his command in 1992. He had information that there were Salvadoran refugees in the area, as well as armed people wearing uniforms, but no orders were given to act against those groups. He does not know who conducted the counterinsurgency work, or whether said units existed, and he does not know what “territorial forces” were. He recalls that he received a radio message from second lieutenant Ángel Belisario Hernández, who informed him that an individual illegally wearing military uniform and bearing an AK-47 rifle, who also had AK-47 and caliber 22 ammunition, had been detained in the village of Santo Domingo, municipality of Colomoncagua, in response to a request by the mayor and a local judge, due to complaints by certain inhabitants of Santo Domingo. He said that the detainee was taken to the military post and released the following day at 9:30 a.m., because no one came to accuse him “out of fear.” He stated that the document showed to him at the hearing, which is Annex 1, was false.
