"I am here to protest the murder of my son by his fellow soldiers, who were annoyed with him because he wouldn't take part in the murder of two civilians the army tried to present as guerrillas killed in combat," Raul Carvajal told several radio reporters.
Apart from the death of his son, Carvajal accused the army of having disappeared the dead sergeant's wife and child.
The man said he had taken his son from his grave in the northern town of Monteria to Bogota's political epicenter to demand justice.
