In an extraordinary tale of events Guillermo Reyes Rammsy, 62, was arrested Friday and charged with the 1973 murders of Freddy Taberna Gallegos and German Palomino Lamas who were members of Chile’s Socialist Party.

Reyes called one of the country’s most famous radio phone in shows “Chacotero Sentimental” (Loving Betrayal) and told the host Roberto Artiagoitía of his failing romance before describing the human rights crimes he says he committed during the military junta.

The caller said that he cried the first time he shot and killed someone but went on to say that he gradually became accustomed to killing after he was encouraged and indoctrinated by his military superiors.

“The first time (I killed someone) I cried but the lieutenant was saying: ‘Good soldier, good soldier, brave soldier.’ Then ‘Pow. pow,’ again. The second time I liked it. I enjoyed it,” he told the local radio station.

Despite Artiagoitía questioning the man over his crimes the former military official showed little remorse during the call and said he was “obliged” to kill as the “military would have killed me. We were grunts and they gave us orders.”

1. I hope this man completely bares his soul before he has finished talking.

They have tried so hard to cover up all their crimes. It never occurred to them someone's conscience might come back to haunt him in his later life.

I hope the upper ranking officers and government clowns from that time have nightmares every night. They should all commit suicide.
