It would be difficult to find such a narrow alley, through which not even two people can pass at the same time, that has received so much attention in the last two days, as an authentic center of pilgrimage for adolescents, without there being any relic to venerate. The sad scene of a crime, the hidden corner where Chloe was stabbed to death by her ex-boyfriend in Orihuelaa tragic and gloomy metaphor for how his life was unfairly narrowed when he was only fifteen years old.
“It was very goodalways gave everything for everyone, also very shy and nice». This is how one of her closest friends described her yesterday, with whom she shared confidences about her intimate life, while observing the candles, flowers and posters that her loved ones have been placing in the precise place where Samuel allegedly caused cuts on her the neck and other parts of the body, in the La Florida urbanization in the coastal area of this Alicante municipality.
However, he agrees with other colleagues that both – the aggressor and the victim – suffered obvious disagreements. «It was a toxic relationship“But I didn’t expect that either, she’s a girl,” he confesses sadly. What were those tensions perceived in? «The typical jealousy as a couple, ‘don’t go out like that’ or ‘don’t go with her’, although she didn’t say it in front of me,” says this young woman to whom Chloe confided her worries: “She told me things, that it was wrong, that she needed her time to to overcome things what he did to him, he had cheated on him twice. Given these infidelities and given his state of mind, he ordered him to break up. «I told him ‘leave itit’s okay, there is many boys“Many loves, even if you can’t forget it and you can’t bear it, leave it,” she recalls now, regretting that she didn’t listen to that friend’s advice.
Despite these internal tensions as a couple, his behavior towards others did not suggest such a violent angry reaction. “I didn’t understand anything, I’ve known Samuel for years, he was very good to us, he had had his personal and family problems a long time ago, but he was a good child,” she describes, corroborated by another boy who accompanied him.
“Justice”
In the movement of classmates at the Playa Flamenca Secondary Education Institute, as soon as classes end at two in the afternoon, the largest group arrives with silent and crestfallen faces, expressions of distress, and they do not want to make comments “at this time ».
They preferred to express their regret on a notebook page: “Rest in peace, Chloe. Tea we will miss of less and we will love you forever. Fly high, pretty. Support for family and friends. The emotional message is adorned with many tiny hearts drawn in pen. Next to it, a piece of cardboard cries out for “Justice for Chloe.”
For now, the detainee was transferred yesterday to the Alicante courts, where the Prosecutor’s Office of Minorswith the provision for this type of violent deaths of a measure of internmenthaving not yet turned eighteen years of age.
As usually happens in many conflicts, some friends of ‘Samu’ have a radically different view of what happened and, although they do not excuse his criminal action for a second, they have assured that it was he who was unhappy and pressured in his love relationship. To the point that it was heard at the institute that he had been looking for “a gun because he wanted to commit suicide.” However, they cannot explain in this case why it did not end their relationship, since it is proven that it was Chloe who left him and, a priori, it seems that this is where the trigger for the crime lies, because the message from rupture it barely arrived two days before of that fatal date in the alley. Likewise, the hypothesis that he was suffering or could have been a victim when he came to see her armed with a knife does not fit well.
“He defended me when they wanted to hit me”
A mood that has nothing to do with that of his victim, as another younger student from the same educational center testified yesterday, moved by the memory of his support in an extreme situation: “I they wanted to hit once and she “He helped me”. “I didn’t know her, but being a mother, there are no words for this, when it touches you so close,” adds the parent, impressed by the tragedy and feeling empathy with the family.
This emotional impact in the classrooms, where they have never experienced such a heartbreaking episode, led to specialists being sent to offer psychological care to the students.
At IES Playa Flamenca they paid tribute on Monday to this tragically missing student with a mural placed at the entrance of the building and a few words in his memory. Both the teaching staff and many students have maintained a discreet silence when seeing the media.
«Impossible to imagine what that mother feels»
«I am a father of three children and one can get an idea, but to say that you can know what feelNo; that mother alone…, it is impossible to imagine which is something like that,” said a man when accompanying one of his daughters to say goodbye to her partner.
A few minutes before, without him knowing it, at mid-morning they had visited this kind of mourning altar, with some stuffed animals and other souvenir objects, precisely the mother of Chloe and her brotherdespondent with pain and crying, after begging two media outlets I respect to your privacy at those moments, before returning to his home on the next street.
It is shocking to imagine how the fifteen-year-old girl was able to travel the more than two hundred meters that separate the place where she received the stab wounds from that house where she desperately sought help. Although her brother took her to the hospital, she did not survive her neck injury. Two days later, in the two streets linked by this passage, the neighbors watched with curiosity and without understanding what was happening. Foreigners predominate and shake their heads in response to whether they knew or had seen Chloe, without the ability to speak Spanish.
