Pinochet dies aged 91
General Pinochet who ruled chile from 1973-1990 has died aged 91.
He has cheated justice over the 3,000 people who went missing during his stint in power.
Despite that, most people in Chile liked Pinochet for defeating Marxism in Chile.
However he apprently stole $27 million and put the money into offshore bank accounts, which cooled peoples like for him (aside from those whose family members had gone missing due to Pinochet).
It's always sad when a dictator dies without having to face upto the charges that they are charged with.
