Chloe’s death devastated the lives of two families. It is obvious that the pain that must be felt by the parents and brother of this minor, whose boyfriend stole the life she had ahead of her at only 15 years old, is indescribable. But it is no less true that the parents of El Rayo, arrested as the alleged perpetrator of this sexist crime, are also living a nightmare, because no one wants their son to end the lives of others. This is what his father demonstrates during the brief conversation he has with EL ESPAÑOL and where he cries every second.
“We are devastated”underlines the father of “El Rayo”, a 17-year-old teenager who, today, according to a spokesperson for the Civil Guard, will be handed over to the juvenile prosecutor’s office in Alicante for having -supposedly- slit the throat of his girlfriend, Chloe , after meeting her this Sunday because he had broken off the relationship by sending her a message.
“We are devastated,” he insists with a broken voice and cry without consolation. This man has not slept since Sunday evening, when the Civil Guard showed up at his duplex in Torrevieja, looking for “El Rayo”, and he then had to witness the search of his family home which lasted hours this Monday, keeping his emotions at bay – while seeing his son guarded by agents like a murderer -.

“We lost two families“said the father of the detained minor, while presenting a public apology which, of course, must be addressed to the poor parents of the late Chloe. “We are truly sorry.”
Unfortunately, there’s no turning back the clock because her own son apparently committed suicide. the girl who brought them home months ago to officially introduce her as his girlfriendafter going from simple companions at the Playa Flamenca Institute in Orihuela Costa to a romantic relationship that ended in tragedy.
“Please don’t ask me anything else,” concludes the head of the family. “Forgive me, but We can’t talk because there’s a summary secret and the Civil Guard banned it.”
This is how the brief telephone conversation with this newspaper ended, after having digested that the patrol car parked in front of his house this Monday, revealed to the neighborhood that a search was underway in this duplex in Torrevieja, located three kilometers from alley of THE The La Florida urbanization in Orihuela Costa, where “El Rayo” is said to have slit Chloe’s throat because she did not want to continue being his girlfriend.

Indeed, after the tense departure from the minor’s home, handcuffed, hiding his face with a hood and with the help of a member of the Women and Minors Team (EMUME) of the Civil Guard, at sunset, the door opened again because The lawyer hired by El Rayo’s parents has left the property. “I will not make any statements because the secrecy of the summary has been decreed,” warned the journalist’s lawyer – moving slightly towards her car to avoid questions.
“On Monday, when I got up at half past six in the morning, there was already a Civil Guard patrol parked in front of El Rayo’s house: I think The parents were not able to enter their own home until the arrival of the Judicial Police to do the search, to prevent them from touching anything,” says an anonymous person who lives in the same neighborhood as the parents of the minor arrested for stabbing his ex-girlfriend Chloé to death. “At three-thirty p.m. Monday afternoon, the couple was still on the street, waiting in a van to enter their home.
The inmate’s mother was “crying”, completely “sorry” for the situation. This person who maintains friendly relations with the family summarizes that “it was very hard for them” the whole process that they began to experience this Sunday, at 11:10 p.m., when the Civil Guard arrested their son, as the alleged author of the attack with a knife which caused a fatal injury to Chloe’s neck, after 8:30 p.m., in an alley in the La Florida urbanization, in Orihuela Costa.
“We heard screams”
“That Sunday at ten thirty in the evening, we started hearing screams and banging in El Rayo’s house.“We didn’t know what was happening, but there must have been civil guards looking for him,” this person recalled. “It was a very powerful thing. Chloe was going to this boy’s parents. I can’t imagine what this child did. I really still can’t believe it.”

But the truth is that since the arrest of “El Rayo”, only information has emerged from the circle of friends of the teenage couple and from some teachers at IES Playa Flamenca who let one step away from admitting this boy to a juvenile center17 years old, who was placed this Tuesday at the disposal of the juvenile prosecutor’s office for the violent death of his ex-partner. In fact, one of the hypotheses put forward is that he had a toxic relationship with Chloé, marked by alleged episodes of abuse, on the part of a repeating high school student, who boasted of using laughing cigarettes live on Instagram.
“With Red Bull, it can give you something,” replied a teenager on Instagram. Such behavior was not taught to him by his parents. “The parents are good neighbors, they don’t cause problems and they are very hardworking people: he in a vehicle sales company and she in a gas station”, as defends one who knows them. “They work in front of the public and I think they deleted their social media profiles so they couldn’t see what people were saying about “El Rayo”.“After all, he is your son.”
