A relative of victims killed in a massacre executed by the Army in Peru's southern village of Putis in 1984, walks past tombs after a burial ceremony at the village of Putis on the outskirts of Ayacucho, August 29, 2009. The remains of 92 people found on the biggest known mass grave in Peru after being slaughtered by Peru's Army during the 1980-2000 civil war were delivered to their families for proper burial on Saturday. Villagers in Putis who survived the 1984 massacre say they were lured to a rocky pit by the Army to help build a community fishpond. The men, women and children from the Andean village had no idea they were digging their own mass grave. REUTERS/Enrique Castro-Mendivil (PERU CONFLICT OBITUARY SOCIETY)
