A recovered forensic report on the 1985 Palace of Justice siege has implicated the Colombian military in the killing of rebel hostages, reported news broadcast Noticias Uno Sunday.

The newscast uncovered a lost report that contradicted previously held beliefs surrounding the deaths of certain hostages during the siege of the Palace of Justice in Bogota.

A 2005 Truth Commission ordered by the Colombian government stated that three hostages were killed by members of the M-19 guerrilla group.

Images from the newfound report, however, show bullet holes on the outer wall of a bathroom where the three hostages were held. The guerrillas accused of killing the hostages were located inside the bathroom.
