Mr. Cheyre who was 25 at the time of the incident said he was handed the baby by his commanding officer and ordered to take to the convent. He said that he was told that the boy's parents had committed suicide. In actual fact, the military hunted the couple down and shot them dead. The boy, Ernesto Lejderman survived the attack.

Mr. Lejderman who's still lived in Argentina says he knows Mr. Cheyre wasn't indirectly involved the killings, but he feels he should acknowledge his role as accomplice.
