Chilean MP charged over Pinochet-era killing september 2014 Last updated at 13:06 ET
A member of Chile's parliament has been charged with the killing of three left-wing militants during the dictatorship of Gen Augusto Pinochet.
Rosauro Martinez was an army captain at the time of the incident in 1981.
He led a patrol in southern Chile in search of members of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR), which sought to overthrow the Pinochet regime.
A gun battle followed in which at least 11 people died, but the exact details of what happened remain a mystery.
'More truth'
Mr Martinez says he followed army protocol, but some former conscripts who were with him at the time say he used excessive brutality.
