The fight had been fierce. Terán saw two good friends killed in front of him. But Che had lost more, and was wounded and his carbine-barrel shattered, so he surrendered
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskFor 40 minutes he had hung about, hoping the order would be annulled. This only infuriated his superiors. So from their camp at La Higuera, a village of no more than 20 dwellings in the dry broken hills of southern Bolivia, he was now climbing up to the schoolhouse. It was a humble place, built of mud and thatch, and silent now the children were away.
To the man who now had to kill him, the task was dreadful. He needed a stiff drink, but could find only beer, so he shouldered hisautomatic and struggled on with a slopping bottle in each hand. He had tried to find a better rifle, too, but had no luck. No luck with anything that day. If he had known then how his life was about to change, he would never have raised his hand. Almost all the rest of his existence was spent in hiding and denial. In December that year he let Michelle Rey fromtake his picture and label him as Che’s killer. It remained the only clear photo of him until his pensioner’sdecades later. In between, in effect, he disappeared. He gave no hint of his story either publicly or even privately, to his six children or their children.
To those reporters he gave the story he had told himself for decades. He was not the killer of Che, not for sure. Yes, he was the man in thephotograph, who bore a strong resemblance to the officer at Che’s laying-out who stood behind his dead head, seeming to explain. He also had the same name as the man who had written a long-secret report on the killing to his superiors, and had been given Che’s handmade pipe by an embeddedagent.
