“I remember a specific case of Wilfrido Quintero Chona, we held him in a bar, he was on the list I made with María Eugenia in El Carmen, we locked him up and took them out with lies, I told him we were going to the Guamalito police station,” Gutierrez Salazar confessed.

“We got to Guamalito, I turned around and shot him, I killed him, the soldiers were shooting towards the mountain and we said that there was supposed to be a combat; I placed a weapon on him that the paramilitaries had sent mewhen I put the gun in his hands, I see a hand full of calluses of a working peasant, we did not think about the damage we were doing, “he explained.

Likewise, the soldier has said: “I am here to acknowledge the war crimes I committed, crimes against humanity, I know that you are not going to forgive us, but I hope that this ends definitively and that the Army comes to take care of the peasant “.

Thus, he stressed that he wants them to know “his relatives, they were peasants and as a member of the public force I cowardly murdered them, I took away the illusion of their children; I tore the hearts of the mothers, because of pressure, because of some results to keep a government happy“.

In 2016, the peace agreements were signed in Colombia between the now disappeared guerrilla of the FARC and the government then headed by Juan Manuel Santossince then it has led to the demobilization of some 13,000 combatants, although some 300 have been killed by members of other armed groups, victims of the wars they maintain to gain control of drug trafficking routes.
