52 Gómez-Palomino would have worked during his whole productive life, and he would have collected, at least, a minimum wage, with the corresponding bonuses and benefits. In this respect, taking into account the average life expectancy in Peru79 and bearing in mind the activities whereby the victim used to earn his living, as well as the circumstances and particular characteristics of the case, the Court fixes on equitable grounds the amount of US $50,000.00 (fifty thousand United States Dollars), or its equivalent in Peruvian currency, as the compensation of Mr. Santiago Gómez-Palomino for loss of income. Said amount shall be distributed between Mrs. Victoria Margarita Palomino-Buitrón and the girl Ana María Gómez-Guevara, as per paragraph 121 of this judgment. b) Consequential damages 126. With the purpose of learning about the fate and the whereabouts of Mr. Gómez-Palomino, his next of kin carried out many actions before governmental authorities, among which it is worth mentioning their visits to the courts, police stations and detention centers, hospitals and morgues (supra para. 54(10)). The Court deems that the State must pay compensation for said expenses, as they have a direct cause-effect link with the violations tried in the instant case.80 The Court finds that no satisfactory evidence is included in the case file that may allow the accurate determination of the amount of the expenses in which the next of kin of Mr. Gómez-Palomino may have incurred when carrying out said activities. In view of the special circumstances of the case, the Court considers it proper to fix, on equitable grounds, the amount of US $ 3,000 (three thousand United States dollars), or its equivalent in Peruvian currency, as compensation for the abovementioned damage. Said amount shall be paid, in equal shares, to Mrs. Victoria Margarita Palomino-Buitrón, Mrs. María Dolores Gómez-Palomino and Mrs. Luzmila Sotelo-Palomino. 127. Similarly, during the first year after the detention and forced disappearance of Mr.Gómez-Palomino, his mother, Mrs. Victoria Margarita Palomino-Buitrón, was exclusively devoted to search her son and, therefore, she had to quit her work. As she had not the financial support of Mr. Santiago Gómez-Palomino any more, her family endured great financial hardship, which was attenuated by the contributions made the elder sisters; Mrs. María Dolores Gómez-Palomino and Mrs. Luzmila Sotelo-Palomino (supra para. 48(a)). Besides, three months alter the disappearance of her son, Mrs. Victoria Margarita Palomino-Buitrón had to undertake full responsibility for the upbringing of her grand-daughter, Ana María Gómez-Guevara, who was only fifteen days old and the posthumous daughter of Mr. Santiago Gómez-Palomino (supra para. 54(24)), and therefore this Court presumes that such event generated expenses in which, had the forced disappearance of Mr. GómezPalomino not occurred, Mrs. Palomino-Buitrón would have never incurred. 79 During years 2000 to 2005 life expectancy average in Peru was 69.8 years of age.
