Ex-boyfriend admits to Cloe´s murder
The ex- boyfriend of Cloe, the 15-year-old girl murdered in Orihuela Costa, has admitted to the crime in an appearance held at the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office. The teenager, who has been
detained in a juvenile centre since his arrest for the gender violence murder, gave a statement for more than three hours during which he was confronted with the evidence collected against him.
Although he tried to downplay his involvement in the events, the evidence was so conclusive that he admitted to killing his former girlfriend. Among the evidence are mobile phone messages that he exchanged with the other young man under investigation on the same night of the crime, in which they spoke openly about what happened. Although all these messages were deleted, the Civil Guard was able to recover them. The young woman was murdered on 24th November in Orihuela Costa, the eve of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The victim was fatally stabbed in the neck. The investigation suggests that while one of the arrested minors grabbed her by the neck, the other slit her throat.

Her ex-boyfriend was initially arrested, but it wasn’t revealed until months later that a second suspect had been there on the night of the incident. After his arrest, he implicated the second minor. He claimed the murder was connected to an alleged drug debt and allegedly carried out by the second suspect. Mobile phone geolocation systems determined that the two suspects were in the alley
the night of the crime.The two had been sending each other messages that night in which they spoke openly about what had just happened. Both had an option activated that would delete these communications once they were read, but the Civil Guard was able to recover them. In them, they spoke openly about how worried they were that Chloe was still alive when they left the alley. The communications continued until shortly before the ex-boyfriend was located and arrested. Initially, the suspect was going to invoke his right not to testify, but he finally answered questions from the prosecutor and his defence attorney, Encarnación Obdulia Martínez. Although he has admitted his involvement in the crime, he continues to maintain that it was the other minor who forced him and continues to insist on the drug debt story.
