When the two men were caught on 8 March 1982, it was revealed that they had only been discharged from the Carabineros days prior, on 4 March 1982. The case became controversial after more prominent people were implicated, but only Sagredo and Topp were punished.[1] Both men were sentenced to death and executed by firing squad on 29 January 1985.
Sagredo and Topp were the last men to be legally executed in Chile before the practice was outlawed in 2001.[2]
