A/HRC/45/CRP.11 me out into the street. They were demanding [his] name and he answered ‘C4FF20.’ One of them said ‘it is him’, while others said ‘it is not, it is not’, [...]. As I was crossing the gate to leave the grounds, I heard some shots [...]. I turned around to try to re-enter the house but they prevented me.1989 1118. The officers would not allow C4FF17 back into the house, so she waited outside. At around 5.30 a.m., she saw a white CICPC pickup truck park in front of the house and leave again shortly afterwards.1990 Upon re-entering the house at around 10 a.m., she noticed blood traces leading from the living room to a larger puddle on the back door of the house; there was also blood in the parking space outside the house. Before she managed to reach the hospital, news that C4FF20 was a criminal gang member who had died in a confrontation with the police was being broadcast on the radio.1991 1119. C4FF18 was in C4FF19’s house at 4.10 a.m. on 14 September 2015. Once informed by phone about events at his brother’s house, C4FF19 left his house to get help. C4FF18 remained and later heard gunshots and knocking at the door, so she locked herself in the bathroom.1992 When she opened the bathroom door, she found “many men, about 50 men, all pointing at me [...]. There were many officers from different police agencies. They wanted to get me out of the house and they were grabbing me by the arms, mistreating me”.1993 Some officials were wearing beige and black, others were wearing blue pants with a light blue shirt from the Regional Police, and others were wearing black flannel with navy blue jeans and a black cap with yellow letters from the CICPC.1994 1120. C4FF18 was recovering from a leg operation and could not move easily, so instead of taking her outside, the officers locked her in another room. She said, “Through the hole in the handle I was seeing everything that they did; they went in, they came out, they knocked down and broke everything that got in their way”.1995 1121. C4FF18 heard three shots. She believes that the first shot she heard was fired at C4FF20’s house. She believes that the second shot was fired against the door of the courtyard of her house. She heard the third shot 15-20 minutes after the second. She believes that it was fired in the courtyard of her house. Immediately after hearing this shot, she heard C4FF19 moan. 1122. When C4FF18 managed to leave the house around five hours later, at about 9 a.m., she learned that the two brothers were both lying dead in the Pons Hospital. 1996 Several neighbours claimed to have seen one of the two brothers alive when the officers took him away in their vehicles.1997 1123. The dead men’s relatives reported that the officers who entered their homes stole their belongings. One of them found the house was in complete disarray when she returned,1998 with electronic items, clothes and jewellery among the items missing. 1999 Another relative also accused the officers of theft.2000 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 220 Ibid.
