While Irene worked in the garden, men banged on her door and called out for her. As Irene opened the door, two men escorted her into the plazza for a trial as well as four other men. After two hours, at 8pm, Irene and the four men were each shot at the back of their head. http://www.godtube.com/watch/?v=77GZWWNX
