There have been new developments in the investigation of the murder of 15-year-old Cloe, who was slashed in the throat by her 17-year-old ex-boyfriend in Orihuela Costa. Authorities have acknowledged that a second youngster is being investigated for allegedly actively participating in the crime, following the lifting of the summary’s secrecy.

While her ex-partner attended vocational training in the afternoon after dropping out of high school, this minor also attended the IES Playa Flamenca, even attending the same class as Cloe, who was in her fourth year of ESO.

Additionally, the second youngster is scheduled to testify today, Wednesday 26th March, before the Juvenile Court in Alicante, where the primary suspect—who was taken into custody shortly after the incident at his Los Balcones home—has already done so.

The event took place in the La Florida residential area on November 24th, the eve of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. When Cloe made the decision to break up with her supposed killer, they were left on a dimly lit street. According to the Guardia Civil’s theory, he then stabbed her, slitting her throat.

In excruciating pain, Chloe travelled 200 metres to her brother’s house in Venus via a tiny, half-metre-wide alley. Even though the cleaning was completed in a matter of hours, blood stains were still visible along that convoluted trail the next day. A terrifying scene in which Chloe’s bloodied handprint, nearly at ground level, attests to her suffering. She passed very soon after her brother took her to Torrevieja Hospital in critical condition.

The primary suspect, who is currently being detained in a juvenile facility pending trial, escaped towards parque oeste La Florida, which is close to the scene of the murder.

The Consell authorised the Attorney General’s Office of the Generalitat to take popular action in the case of the young woman who was deemed a victim of gender-based violence, four days prior to March 8th, International Women’s Day, by approving the Department of Social Services’ proposal for institutional action in the case of murders of women victims of gender-based violence.

Residents of La Florida and members of the educational community at IES Playa Flamenca were so outraged by the crime that the “In Memory of Cloe” platform was created, calling for a rally on January 25th to demand that the park in front of the school be renamed Cloe Tirelli Youth Park.

Additionally, the platform asked that a memorial area be created in the park across from the alley where the events were held. Ever since, the alley where she was decapitated has been transformed into a temporary altar, adorned with floral arrangements, words of love, and sincere remembrances.

You may write recurring phrases like “fly high” and words of memory like “you’ve been an incredible friend, you didn’t deserve that” on notebook paper and cardboard.

Meanwhile, the number of clashes at Playa Flamenca High School has increased. They have gone up, according to local police sources. The same sources admit that it’s a challenging issue to resolve, despite the fact that cops have been working on it for more than a year through the juvenile unit and have increased police presence.
