The death of Sharit, 16, and Rosmed, 15, found lifeless in a park in Jaén, has caused a deep shock in the city and has opened a debate about what really happened in the hours prior to the event. While the National Police are keeping all hypotheses open, their main line remains suicide.
However, the families of the teenagers strongly reject this initial conclusion and have begun to publicly state the reasons why they believe that their daughters did not take their own lives voluntarily. Mistrust, the search for alternative explanations and the desire for the case not to be closed hastily mark these days of mourning and uncertainty.
The official version: suicide without third party intervention
From the first hours of the investigation, the police maintained that the two girls “committed suicide” and that the agents had ruled out the intervention of third parties due to the “lack of signs of violence” on the bodies. The authorities emphasize that there is no evidence of aggression or external participation and recall that the area was thoroughly inspected.
The Junta de Andalucía, for its part, admitted that one of the institutes where Rosmed had been enrolled had activated a “protocol to prevent self-harm”, a detail that initially reinforced the hypothesis of suicide.
Friends of the teenagers noted that both had been victims of bullying and had been supporting each other for some time. At Monday’s rally in front of City Hall, several young people carried a sign that read “Justice for Sharit.” But this line does not convince the families either.
Families deny suicide, bullying or depression
The parents of the minors completely reject that their daughters had suicidal ideas, emotional problems or that they suffered harassment. They state it without nuance: “They want to stage the perfect suicide and it is the perfect homicide”, denounces Alex, their father.
They assure that the young woman “was neither sad nor suffering from depression” and that she was enjoying the hairdressing course she had just started: “She was excited, doing her FP”. They also point out that, on Friday afternoon, she had done her homework and went for a walk with her friend, saying that they were going “to eat some sweets”.
The phone message that changed everything
One of the most disturbing points for the family is a message found on Sharit’s cell phone: “He sent her a note with a I love you very much, you are my friend, my sister, but I say goodbye,” says her mother .
However, the woman doubts its authenticity and maintains that the WhatsApp seems to her “very prepared, like when you take the text and paste it there.”
The parents point out that Sharit broke up with her boyfriend that evening, something that puzzles them because “she was super in love with that boy” and they don’t understand her decision.
Suspicions about cell phones
The family insists that both teenagers’ cell phones were intact when they were found, stuffed in their pockets.
Sharit’s mother explains a key moment of that night: “I send a hundred thousand messages to my daughter and at 23:38 being in the Patos Park, and my husband turning around, they read my messages, I go crazy. I call and call and I go crazy and nobody answers”.
They are convinced that the device has been tampered with: “She didn’t do it consciously, she was either tricked or manipulated, but she would never take her own life,” says the father.
Rosmed’s family also rules out suicide
Rosmed’s parents deny both suicide and that their daughter was being bullied at school, despite her history of changing schools (three in two years). Although she had left school in September, she was still in close contact with Sharit.
Both families demand that the police investigate “to the end,” including the possibility of suicide inducers or that someone helped them carry out the act.
The complexity of a case without clear answers
The subdelegate of the Government in Jaén, Manuel Fernández, recognizes the difficulty of moving forward: “Great complexity”, he admitted this Monday.
The Subdelegation assures that “all lines of investigation” are still open, although the police maintain that, for now, the main hypothesis is suicide, as no injuries compatible with the participation of third parties have been detected.
The process continues under the secrecy of summary proceedings, while the families hope that the investigation will shed light and not be falsely closed.
