The remains of the
mother, father, and wife of don Daniel. The remains of four others,
his aunt, little brother, his infant child, and sister in law, had already
been lifted from the same grave.
The seven were massacred
by an army patrol as they fled into the mountains in August 1982.
Under the cover
of darkness Daniel had returned to that spot to bury them two days after
the massacre, and now, after years of living in hiding in the mountains,
he requested that their remains be exhumed and returned to him for a
proper reburial.
