The father, with whom they shared a small annex a few meters from the sea in Peniche, spent the night in local cafes. Despite his health problems and alcoholism, Jorge Pereira found it strange not to see his eldest daughter, but he accepted the younger one’s explanation.
“He went to Lisbon to meet his boyfriend.” And only four days later he went to the State People’s Republic to report Lara’s disappearance. Judicial police investigated the case and solved the mystery on Wednesday evening. Lara was killed by her sister via mobile phone and buried in a vacant lot behind the house.
The teenage killer couldn’t help but lie when he confronted PJ and began to shake.
Contrary to what she said, the sister never left Peniche, as evidenced by the location of her mobile phone while it was charged. The reagent showed that he used bleach to purify the blood. And in the end he confessed. He killed his older sister with three stab wounds and hid the corpse under one of the beds where they slept. She then led inspectors to the body and was arrested.
It took three days to dig a hole to fit the corpse and a wheelbarrow to move it from the house to the makeshift grave. He managed to do this without his father and neighbors noticing.
Jorge Pereira, the father, went missing on Thursday. He has already suffered three strokes, the last two weeks ago. She cried as she looked at the hole in the sand where her daughter was buried. “They were always messing around, but I don’t know why she did it,” he explains with difficulty. He has no idea about the seriousness of what happened to his daughters – one died, the other will be tried as an adult. And he says he doesn’t know anything about Discord’s cell phone.
“I lived in a world of monsters”
“I lived in a world of monsters, a dark world that we could never enter. She was a sad, very shy girl who never looked anyone in the eye. It was a ticking time bomb, and I was going to start seeing a psychologist this school year. But we never imagined this. Nothing could make us think that a tragedy of this magnitude could happen,” says the teacher morning Postwithout hiding emotions.
As for the reason that prompted her to kill her sister – the theft of her mobile phone – the teacher assures that this was the most important item for the killer. “It was his only connection with the world. There was nothing more important, it was the Internet and music that made her a person.”
This Friday, at the beginning of the school year, the school psychologist will talk with the girl’s colleagues. The idea will be to accompany them so that they too can process what happened. “We are broken. We feel like we failed, but we never imagined this outcome. We never thought her world would be this dark.”
CRIME NO MORE SUSPECTS
According to the director of the Judicial Police of Leiria, although the investigation has not yet been completed, “all the evidence collected indicates that no other persons were involved in the death of the young woman.” Avelino Lima also added that “the presence of the father did not prevent the body from remaining at home.”
Record of violence
Authorities have determined that the teenage killer was the victim of violence at the hands of her father, who attacked her in front of school in May.
400 EURO
Jorge Pereira receives around 400 euros in disability pension after years of working as a mason’s assistant. Not enough to support a house, addiction and two daughters. They survived thanks to the help of institutions and some neighbors.
Alcohol in the room without conditions
Clothes strewn everywhere, a lot of dirt, mattresses without sheets, creams that any young girl would use, several bottles of alcohol and energy drinks, a dog nursing newborn puppies, a sickening smell, no windows. It was in this desolate scenario that the two sisters were forced to live together. The small outbuilding she shared with her father lacked the books and school supplies common in homes occupied by young people aged 16 and 19, or any basic amenities. It was in this space that Lara was killed by her sister, who slept with her body under the bed next to her for 3 days.
