Man accused of killing girl Erika Yung |a, 14 years old, at the door of his house in Vázquez de Mella. She had been acting in Vallobin for years and was known among the few girls who accused her, they knew it was dangerous and they were only convicted of “misconduct”. One of these women denounced this when she learned that the hero of the tragic event at number 69 Vázquez de Mella was the same person she had condemned after attacking her on Uría street in 2019.
Here is the heartbreaking statement:
“In 2019 I accused this man of cornering me and trying to put a sack over my head. He was acquitted because ‘not being able to get the sack on you is only accused of verbal abuse, and that’s a petty crime.’ Every few months since then, I’ve been reading through the networks about girls who crossed paths with him and harassed or cornered him. We warned each other because we were afraid because we knew it was dangerous. Because justice has not been served. I do not get it. Many times, we have warned many different people. ‘Little crime’, ‘petty crime’, ‘petty crime’. I don’t understand the law or the law but I think something is wrong if we have to wait for them to kill us to take our cries for help seriously. What despair. I’m so sorry Erika. I cry for you from here and I am so sorry to everyone who knew you and will always love you.
In a post on her social networks, this woman had already denounced the events when she was attacked: “Forty minutes ago I was on my way to Uría and a boy tried to corner me and put a sack over my head. It’s not a danger. Our clothes are neither when you’re back home, nor when traffic is low. You pass through the regions. The danger is that they think they have the right to do whatever they want to you.”
Classmates in high school were horrified
“He always had a smile on his face, he was always happy.” A group of three teenagers, the age of Erika, who was brutally murdered in Oviedo last Tuesday, set off for their home from La Ería Institute of Secondary Education (IES) at half past two yesterday afternoon. It is very similar to the route his classmate, a 2nd year ESO student, took just twenty-four hours ago. Visibly excited, he is the person in the middle of the group who talks the most. It is the person who pronounces the first sentence between quotation marks. Also from the next. “I already met him in childhood,” she says, “he was really nice.” Not another word comes out of his mouth and they are walking away from the quiet hustle and bustle that the students of this institute left the classroom yesterday. The learning center held its breath. They were overwhelmed. “We are in a state of shock, it was a huge blow”. Now speaking is Emma Álvarez, director of the IES, and in her words she summed up the feelings of the entire school community. “This makes you rethink where humanity is going…” she said, also impressed.
