Columbian Memories


The Trujillo massacre was actually a series of killings spanning six years between 1988 and 1994. The most gruesome of all was the death of Father Tiberio Fernandez, the local Jesuit priest. He was kidnapped on his way to Mass in April 1990 with his niece and two other parishioners. His decapitated and castrated body washed up a few days later.

The inscription on Fr. Fernandez's tomb reads

"If my blood helps Trujillo to wake up and flower in peace
then I will gladly spill it"
