In more than 70 places from all over the territory thousands of people gathered yesterday to condemn the murder of the 24-year-old. «Justice»Has been the unanimous cry in all the demonstrations.
Precisely, in A Coruña, tens of thousands of people attended the Maria Pita Square to demand justice for the young man and transfer his support to family and friends. The most shouted slogans during the protests have been “They have not killed him, they have murdered him ”; "Get fascists out of our neighborhoods"; “Samuel has been killed for being a fag”. His friends and girlfriends carried banners praying «his love didn't hurt, your hate did»Or«Samu has not died, he has been murdered«.
Samuel's Family Message
The father of Samuel sent a message through ALAS (Association of Affective and Sexual Freedom in Coruña) in which he said that «hopes that it will be the last death due to this type of violence, and asks for help from the families of the aggressors, to help them identify themselves, and that it will be the last death that a family has to suffer«. The association has asked «respect»On behalf of the family and explained that«they will speak when they are ready«.
Police investigations have not yet determined the motive for the brutal attack, although a friend of Samuel and a witness to the murder witnessed how the aggressor, before hitting him with the first punch, said «Either stop recording or I'll kill you, fag«. The last hour is that the police are investigating what role each of the seven assailants played in the fatal beating of Samuel. They try to reconstruct the crime with the help of cameras. They acted in packs, seven against one.
The response from LGTBI entities and citizens has been unanimous.
