Supreme Court of Colombia |
The high court made the decision after rejecting defense arguments, saying they did not meet the requirements and proper logical argument specified in Article 213 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. It appears that a lieutenant and his platoon decided to create a fake firefight with alleged guerrillas in an effort to show their superiors they were dealing with the guerrilla problem. In the ensuing firefight innocent workers were killed. (Rough translation from the Spanish original.)
