Fabiola Guevara - Libardo killed in Bogota 1985
Decades later she was told the grave she was visiting was to be dug up
She was handed a ‘bag’ containing her husband’s remains.
It turned out to be the bones of 2 of his assassinators.
Libardo’s remains were later found in a mass grave.
Bagota.
When the Guerrillas struck
Libardo lost his youthful life…in 1985.
For over twenty years each day,
Fabiola came to the cemetery
To sit at her young husband’s grave.
Some days she wept..some days
She told him all the news.
Some days she shared her woes
and with him.
Though life moved on…
her love for never dimmed;
In her heart she knew
that Libardo was gone
But still…year after year
she sat beside the silent slab
which closed in on her memories.
And then..the cemetery announced
The graves would be exhumed.
for DNA analysis of the remains.
Cruel day it was when Fabiloa learned
That buried in her hallowed grave
where long she’d mourned
held not her beloved husband’s remains.
but his assassinator’s bones.
Libardo’s bones were later found
in a mass grave nearby..
