How was Che Guevara captured and killed in Bolivia?

In October 1967, the guerrilla group led by Che Guevara in Bolivia was nearly destroyed by a special detachment of the Bolivian army, which was supported by CIA advisers.21

During the engagement on October 8, 1967, Guevara was wounded and subsequently captured. He was executed by the Bolivian army the following day, October 9, 1967, in La Higuera. Following his death, his hands were severed and preserved in formaldehyde to allow for fingerprint identification before his body was secretly buried.213

In 1997, remains believed to be those of Guevara were discovered in a mass grave near Vallegrande and were subsequently transported to Cuba for interment in a memorial in Santa Clara.1
