All of the detainees were released on 18 April 1995, except for 12-year-old Anselmo Acosta, who was released into the custody of a local indigenous landowner. He was returned to his family on 27 April. Proceedings in connection with the case continue in the Attorney General’s office in Veraguas province. Some of those released must report to the police every weekend, which means a journey from the mountains once a week.
