He told our whole family he was going to kill her and kill himself after.

He said oh who's this? I said Aunty Belinda. And he said I just killed your niece.

She always come over here, make us laugh whenever we down and out, she come, make us laugh.

For my family, that was a shameful thing. My mom and sister lived very afraid, and to them, being a guerrilla was considered subversive, like being a criminal. The army committed most of the crimes in our town, but my family felt they needed to respect authority. I always questioned authority. In the end, if we didn't do something, we were going to get recruited, period.

This is obviously a bittersweet time for our family.

I want my family to see there is strength in numbers, and you must stand up for your rights.
