Lima (AFP) - The remains of 54 people, mostly women and children, have been found in common graves in southern Peru, prosecutors said.

The remains, including 26 children and 18 women who had been killed by rifle fire, were found in 19 graves in the town of Chungui.

"For the moment it cannot be determined if they were executed by the (Maoist) Shining Path or the army," prosecutors said, citing forensics specialists.

Experts believe the victims were killed perhaps in 1986 during the first term of president Alan Garcia (1985-1990).
