7 27. The representatives of the victims and their next of kin subsequently provided this Court with information on the victims' age and life expectancy, and the rural basic wage. They also estimated each person's personal expenses at 20 percent of their total earnings. 28. On the basis of the information received, and of the calculations made by the actuary designated ad effectum, the Court calculated that the indemnity to be granted to each of the victims or their next of kin depended on their age at the time of death and the years remaining before they would have reached the age at which normal life expectancy is estimated in Venezuela, or the time during which the two survivors remained unemployed. In its calculations, the Court used as the base salary an amount not less than the cost of the basic food basket, which is higher than the minimum rural wage at the time of the events. Once the calculation was made, 25 percent was deducted for personal expenses, as in other cases. To this amount was added the interest accruing from the date of the events up to the present. 29. On that basis, the Court considers that each of the deceased victims' families should receive the following amounts as indemnities: NAME Julio Pastor Ceballos Moisés A. Blanco José I. Guerrero Marino E. Vivas José G. Torrealba José Mariano Torrealba José Ramón Puerta Arín Ovadía Maldonado Rigo J. Araujo Pedro I. Mosquera Luis A. Berrío Rafael Magín Moreno Carlos A. Eregua Justo Mercado US$ DOLLARS 23,953.79 28,303.94 23,139.44 26,838.00 28,535.66 23,139.44 27,416.52 23,558.79 26,145.70 27,235.10 25,006.34 23,139.44 28,641.52 26,145.70 30. The Court decides to award an indemnity of US$4,566.41 to each of the two survivors, Wolmer Gregorio Pinilla and José Augusto Arias, as compensation for the two years during which they were unfit to work. VIII 31. In its brief of November 3, 1995, the Commission cited, as its basis for moral damages, paragraph 87 of the Judgment on reparations in the Aloeboetoe et al. case, and paragraphs 40 et seq. of the Judgment on compensatory damages in the Velásquez Rodríguez case, observing that in the instant case the estimated amount for moral damages is US$125,000.00 per family -based on the Velásquez and Godínez judgments- to be equitably distributed among the families, depending on the number of family members. The amount awarded to the survivors is half that amount (US$62,500.00). The total figure is US$1,875,000.00.
