that in at least eight cases, “the victims were likely incapacitated at the time they were shot.” 205 These eight cases included NN14, Eduardo Nicolás Cruz Sánchez, but not NN9, Víctor Salomón Peceros Pedraza, or NN10, Herma Luz Meléndez Cueva. The report made particular reference to NN14, who according to the authors, “required a separate comment,” as “this person received only one gunshot at the back of the neck through the first cervical vertebra. Unlike the other cases noted [NN2, NN3, NN4, NN6, NN7, NN11, NN13], this person had not first been left incapacitated by wounds on some other part of the body.” 206 This led them to conclude, “the part of the body where the impact was received (the back of the neck) is not easily accessible to a shooter, especially if the target is mobile, and therefore this person must have been immobilized before being shot.” 207 179. The August, 2001 report of the Institute of Forensic Medicine specifically stated, regarding the alleged victims of this case, that Víctor Salomón Peceros Pedraza presented nine gunshot wounds: three to the head, three to the chest, two to the abdomen-pelvis, and one to the extremities. Herma Luz Meléndez Cueva presented 14: seven to the head, one to the neck and six to the thorax.208 The IML report indicated that Eduardo Nicolás Cruz Sánchez had three gunshot wounds: one to the neck, one to the abdomen-pelvis, and one to the extremities.209 The report also discussed the thanatological findings on the injuries, stating that the body of Eduardo Nicolás Cruz Sánchez presented “a perforating injury by gunshot, entering through the back part of the neck and exiting through the lateral right section of the head.”210 The report added that, given the characteristics of the skull wounds, it could be inferred that the victim was on a lower plane than the shooter, who was located behind him to his left.211 This section of the report does not describe other bodily injuries to Eduardo Nicolás Cruz Sánchez. The conclusions of the autopsy report given in the report describe only the brain wounds caused by gunshot.212 205 Report on human remains NN1-NN4 attributed to the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, by Clyde C.
