AT THE north-western edge of Chile’s capital Santiago lies the neighbourhood of Quilucura. In the Mapuche language of Mapudungun, Quilucura means “three stones” and refers to the three hills that separate it from the Renca neighbourhood.
That number, however, came to take on the most gruesome of associations.
On March 28 1985, Santiago Nattino Allende, Manuel Guerrero Ceballos and Jose Manuel Parada Maluanda, three militants of Chile’s Communist Party, were abducted by agents of Carabineros de Chile, the federal police, tortured and later had their throats cut in cold blood.
