Dionicia Quispe Mallqui, Antonia Hilario Quispe, Magdalena Hilario Quispe and Dionicia Guillén
Riveros (aged 57, 31, 26 and 24 years, respectively); and Ramón Hilario Morán (aged 26). The
villagers were subjected to various forms of mistreatment and were then led toward an
abandoned mine called “Misteriosa” or “Vallarón”, located in Hornoranra, a community of
Chunomayo, in the district of Huachocolpa, Department of Huancavelica, on the slopes of
Huaroto hill and about four hundred meters from the Chulumayo river. 75

That same day, Elihoref Huamaní Vergara, aged 22, who had recently been discharged
from the Army and had served in that institution between 1988 and 1990, accompanied by his
father Alejandro Huamaní Robles and Elías Pumacahua Huamaní, grandson of the latter and who
was aged between 12 and 13, were intercepted by soldiers on the road to Rodeo Pampa. The
soldiers forced Elihoref Huamaní Vergara to accompany them and to join the group of fourteen
villagers that they were taking away. On the way, the detainees were beaten, forced to walk for
several hours with their hands tied, and were not given food or water. When they reached the
abandoned “Misteriosa” or “Vallarón” mine, the soldiers forced the fifteen detainees into the mine
shaft and shot them with light submachine guns (FAL). Subsequently, dynamite charges were
detonated in the mine, causing their bodies to shatter into pieces. 76

On July 4, 1991, Zósimo Hilario Quispe, Zenón Cirilo Osnayo Tunque, Marcelo Hilario
Quispe and Gregorio Hilario Quispe were all away from the Rodeo Pampa ranch, each in a
different area. On July 6, 1991, and separately, they found out from the authorities and villagers
of Santa Bárbara that their relatives had disappeared and that their homes had been burned.
The following day, Zósimo Hilario Quispe returned to the ranch at Rodeo Pampa in the company
of several representatives of the peasant community of Santa Bárbara and, upon reaching the
spot, was met by the sight of burned-out houses, with food, clothing and other items strewn on
the ground, and a lot of blood in the area around the houses. 77 That same day and separately,
Zenón Cirilo Osnayo Tunque, Marcelo Hilario Quispe and Gregorio Hilario Quispe made their way
to Santa Bárbara, where they found evidence of what had happened.

On July 8, 1991, in an effort to search for their family members and with the information
provided by neighbors in the vicinity, Zenón Cirilo Osnayo Tunque, Marcelo Hilario Quispe and
Gregorio Hilario Quispe went to the entrance of the “Misteriosa” or “Vallarón” mine, where they
found the remains of human bodies and identified the belongings of some of their relatives. They
were able to recognize the bodies of Antonia Hilario Quispe and her daughter, Miriam Osnayo
Hilario, among the remains. Zenón Cirilo Osnayo Tunque was also able to recognize the body of
his eight-month old daughter, Edith Osnayo Hilario, and the bodies of Ramón Hilario Morán and
his son, Héctor Hilario Guillén. In addition, he observed freshly disturbed earth, shattered
dynamite cartridges and broken dynamite guides. 78
