Raquel's sister, the woman allegedly murdered this Wednesday in Alzira (Valencia) by her ex-partner, a retired police officer, has implored the victims of ill-treatment to report their situation as she has lamented: "Look what happens for thinking that I It's not going to do anything to me."
This has been requested, broken in tears, after the concentration held in Carcaixent, where the deceased resided, summoned in protest of the crime and which was attended by members of the corporation, friends and family. Subsequently, another was held in Alzira, the municipality where the events took place in a house on Sagrada Familia street. Neighbors, members of the corporation, associations and relatives and friends of the victim have participated in them, as well as her two children.
The mayoress of Carcaixent, Carolina Almiñana, has assured that the municipality is "dismayed", like Alzira, on a day of "a lot of anger and a lot of impotence" and has given details of the crime, which the family has detailed, to the who has been accompanying in the morning. Among them, that the son, who was with his mother - it was the result of another relationship -, the alleged murderer put the gun between his eyebrows and threatened to kill him if he did not leave, before closing the garage door where he entrenched himself with his ex-wife.
Raquel's sister has stressed the importance of reporting in these cases. "This is very painful," she said through tears, and asked the women who find themselves in this situation "not to think that something like this cannot happen to them because my sister always said: 'No, to me He's not going to do anything to me. What is he going to do to me? He's very grumpy but he's not going to do anything to me because nobody expected this'. Look what happens to think that he's not going to do anything to me." , has regretted.
In addition to thanking the support received, Raquel's friends have also joined this request: "Please, whoever finds themselves in this situation to report it. She said no, she is not capable, it will not happen and yes, she has been able." "Please, that they report", that this is "marked", in reference to that it is registered. The friends have confirmed that the victim felt harassed since the separation and that she "for four months has gone all to one." HE
Along these lines, the mayoress of Carcaixent has assured that in the family "everyone is devastated, especially the son, who lived it first hand, accompanied his mother and saw the contorted face of the murderer. They knew something was going to happen, but they did not know that he was carrying a gun and at the moment when he locks Raquel in the garage, the son tried to take her out but he put the gun between his eyebrows and said: "I'm going to kill you if you don't leave," he told her He pushed and closed the door."
The first mayor has assured that the son was on the other side of the door when the shots were heard, so "he is totally devastated, like the whole family, but he also feels helpless because he was one meter from his mother but not He couldn't do anything for her."
Almiñana has indicated that, from what the family transfers to him, Raquel was a victim of psychological abuse, and he was isolating her from family and friends so that she was alone and had no contact or support. However, for her, "the children were the most important thing" and he "was jealous of that situation."
Upon realizing, "she came home with her children but he did not leave her alone; he continued to threaten and harass her" and, in the end, in a meeting to which his son accompanied him to sell Alzira's house and in which his Her ex-husband had told her that he would not be there, "yes he was and the terrible events occurred."
The mayor has described the pain of the family since the police barricaded themselves in the house in the morning but the agents could not enter the garage all day and did not know if she was alive or dead.
"She had not reported it out of fear and the family told her," said Carolina Almiñana, who has insisted that her sister has emphasized that she make public the message that the ill-treatment be reported. "Please tell people, any woman or any girl who feels harassed and who feels that they are being attacked in some way, that it does not have to be physical aggression, not to be afraid, to say so, to report it" , has moved "They thought that he would not be able to because you always think that he will not be able to because he is supposed to have loved me or that he loves me. No, it is not like that. He has neither loved you nor does he love you and they end up murdering you, which is what has happened with Raquel", has concluded.
For his part, the mayor of Alzira, Alfons Domínguez, has pointed out that it is "more than evident" that this is a sexist crime, although there is still no confirmation from the Government Delegation of this point, and has added that they provided this Wednesday psychological support for family members to face the situation and they have now coordinated with Carcaixent so that they continue to receive it.
