On Oct. 15 the Chilean Supreme Court sentenced the 88-year-old retired general Sergio Arellano Stark to six years in prison for the killing of four people shortly after a Sept. 11, 1973 coup that brought the late dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet to power. Another retired officer, Carlos Romero Munoz, also received a six-year sentence in the same case; three others were sentenced to four years. The victims—Teofilo Segundo Arce Toloza, Jose Esteban Sepulveda Baeza, Segundo Abelardo Sandoval Gomez and Leopoldo Mauricio Gonzalez Norambuena--were killed at the San Javier military facility on Oct. 2, 1973.
