“El Rayo” did not act in an irrational outburst when he slit defenseless Chloe’s throat for breaking up their romantic relationship. “He gave three friends charge 500 euros each, to help him burn down Chloe’s mother’s house while he killed his ex-girlfriend, so that it would serve as a diversion”, as even two friends from El Rayo’s personal entourage in Orihuela claim Costa.
These teenagers claim that one of these three friends to whom he allegedly offered to share 1,500 euros equally, “has already testified in court. He did it to offer all the details of this alleged plan in which this student from the Playa Flamenca Institute did not want to participate, a center where the author of this sexist crime, “El Rayo”, 17 years old, and the victim fatal, Chloé, 15 years old, fourth year ESO student.
“The investigation is still open and nothing is excluded”as admitted by a Civil Guard source. Indeed, the Women and Minors Team (EMUME) continues to conduct investigations at full speedeven if “El Rayo” has already been made available to the Court of Instruction number 9 of Alicante and its Admission to a center for minors. “Any hypothesis must be clarified,” they insist.
This teenage couple, to prove the truth of their story, shows the EL ESPAÑOL journalist known as “Casa del Chino”: an abandoned house where the El Rayo gang used to go to chat, smoke, have a drink or go out with a girl. This property is on Calle de la Nutria and just 300 meters from Calle Morral where there is the alley where “El Rayo” slit poor Chloe’s throat for refusing to resume their romantic relationship.
“‘El Rayo’ came to Casa del Chino after Chloe because it’s three minutes from the driveway. He came to take off his blood-stained clothes because he was wearing two pants, one long, and underneath, one short, and I think a pair of sweatshirts,” according to one of these two minors, after going up the stairs. from the townhouse and showing the reporter the room intended for the bathroom “The police were there.” “When I arrived on Monday, the entire bathroom floor was black, with pieces of burnt clothes and drops of blood.”
Now the toilets are clean and no one wants to enter the “Casa del Chino”, whose facade is full of graffiti. Some are dedicated to the late Chloé: “You will always be the most beautiful star”‘Rest in peace’… Others are insults towards the author of the 42nd sexist crime recorded in Spain in 2024: ‘Damn Lightning…
“Thursday, Friday and Saturday, ‘El Rayo’ was drunk on the slopes next to the Zenia Boulevard shopping center. He said he was going to take revenge and that he was going to kill his ex-girlfriend,” he said. declared. The 17-year-old boy remembers how badly his friend accepted the breakup of the romantic relationship he had had with Chloé for a year. “He said he wanted to kill her and wanted revenge for the harm he had done to her.“.
Such words are corroborated without a single “but” by the other boy who accompanied us to the Casa del Chino and who, at the time, was also a close friend of “El Rayo”: “Saturday, the only thing that He said I was drinking and doing drugs all day. I was taking pills like rivotril or lorazepam.because I had to go to UCA [Unidad de Conductas Adictivas] and he couldn’t consume anything else because of the tests he took.”
-How did your friend want revenge on his ex-girlfriend?
– This was told to us by the boy who already testified in court. He told us that “El Rayo” asked him if he could lend him his father’s gun because he works as a security guard, but he told him he wouldn’t let him have it at all. This happened a week ago. [del apuñalamiento de Cloe]. Since he said no to the weapon, “El Rayo” has thought of another weapon and another plan: to offer them 500 euros each. The plan he came up with is for two to go to Chloe’s mother to burn her and one to go with him to Chloe.
The investigation remains subject to summary secrecy. For the moment, the only thing that stands out is that the Civil Guard is working with the hypothesis that “El Rayo”, 17 years old, He came up with a plan before slitting Chloe’s throat.15 years old, met her last Sunday, around eight in the afternoon, in a dark and uncrowded alley located between Morral and Venus streets in Orihuela Costa. In fact, they have already been able to confirm that this minor tried to avoid being linked to this sexist crime, by burning his clothes and the knife he was using.
– Who are these three boys to whom he allegedly offered 500 euros each?
– Personal friend of El Rayo: The security guard’s 16-year-old son attends the Playa Flamenca Institute. Another boy with dual nationality, aged 16, and another foreign boy who was in a juvenile center in Torrevieja for theft and fights and who, two or three months ago, went out into the street again . I think he’s 18 or 19 now. ‘El Rayo’ offered the two 16-year-olds 500 euros, but without telling them what they should do. I think the only one who knew the whole plan was from the juvenile hall.
– What happened on Sunday?
– The two boys, aged 16, thought that all they had to do was accompany “El Rayo” to a place and they would be paid. But as they were driving to the place where they had met on Sunday, they stopped and called “Lightning” to tell them what they should do. When he told them that they had to burn down Chloé’s mother’s house, for 500 euros each, the two 16-year-old boys immediately left. Those who had to burn the house repented before it all started.
They said they wouldn’t and called their parents to come pick them up. I think the only one left was the boy who left the juvenile hall. When “El Rayo” was with Chloe in the alley, he warned this boy. I guess she wanted him to burn down Chloe’s mother’s house to distract the family. No one knows where this boy is now.
This Sunday afternoon, 112 received several calls regarding fires in Orihuela Costa in at least one property. For now, it has been confirmed that one of these calls warned of the presence of flames in the famous Casa del Chino where “El Rayo” had taken refuge after the stabbing attack. “That’s where I met the other boy to pay him. “El Rayo” remained on hold and the other did not appear. I think he sold it and that’s why they arrested him.” This young man points out that his friend “El Rayo” may have attacked Chloe with a kitchen knife that “she used to carry in his fanny pack”.
– Why did “El Rayo” carry a knife?
– He did a live broadcast on his Instagram to teach hashish. I know I bought it in Cartagena. One day, half a kilo of hashish was stolen from him. “El Rayo” used to have a knife in his fanny pack, to defend himself, because four or five months ago, half a kilo of hashish was stolen from him.
This boy supports his remarks by showing images on his phone of the Instagram profile of his friend, “El Rayo”, where he boasts of being in possession of a large tablet of hashish. It also shows a capture of the person who stole the aforementioned half kilo of drugs and who accuses him of having committed a sexist crime: “The one who was going drug dealer killed a minor. We gave you the stick and you didn’t have the courage to stab anyone. With very courageous girls. I hope they break you eyelet. RIP Chloe.”
