58 Guatemalan norms (supra 87.1.b). These are the earnings that the victim would presumably have enjoyed during his life expectancy of 40.05 years, the period from his age at the time of the facts until the end of the life expectancy of a man in Guatemala in 1988 (supra 87.G.d). 25% of this amount must be deducted for personal expenses. The resulting amount must be brought to its value at the date of the judgment. Consequently, the amount under this heading is US$78,372.00 (seventy-eight thousand three hundred and seventy-two United States dollars). 167. The compensatory amount established in the previous paragraph shall be delivered to be distributed as follows (supra 83): half the amount to his wife, María Elizabeth Chinchilla, equal to US$39,186.00 (thirty-nine thousand one hundred and eight-six United States dollars) and the other half, that is, US$39,186.00 (thirty-nine thousand one hundred and eight-six United States dollars) to be shared equally between the victim’s three children: Karen Paola, Silvia Argentina and Manuel Alberto, all Gonzalez Chinchilla; in other words, US$13,062.00 (thirteen thousand and sixty-two United States dollars) each. * * * 168.

Regarding the wife of the victim’s move to the United States, this Corte considers that there is a relation of cause and effect between what happened to the victim and this fact. 170. In view of the foregoing, the Court establishes the fair amount of US$3,000.00 (three thousand United States dollars) for María Elizabeth Chinchilla. * * * Non-pecuniary damage Arguments of the victim’s next of kin and the Commission 171. The victim’s next of kin and the Commission requested the amount of US$110,000.00 (one hundred and ten thousand United States dollars) for nonpecuniary damage, based on the following factors: a) the clandestine detention, isolation, deliberate ill-treatment and intention of causing grave physical and mental pain, which was reflected in the state in which the victim’s body was found (signs of hanging, cigarette
