“How is it possible to do this to a 9-year-old girl? … And that bandit out there as if nothing happened, while people were looking for these fields outside.”
On Sunday afternoon, at the door of the café “Forno da Vila”, in Atouguia da Baleia, Peniche, people gave voice to the revolt about the result of the case that led that small parish of nine thousand inhabitants to the holders of the newspapers.
Paulo Franco, the owner of the café, was, however, the most relaxed, because, as he told JN, “despite not knowing them well,” he considered Sandro Bernardo “an educated person and always calm with the girl.” He says that despite rumors of an alleged drug connection, he never saw the alleged killer even drinking beer. ” Here, it was just coffee and tobacco. Nothing else, “he says.
However, recalling the events of the last days, the businessman confesses that there was something strange: “His house is less than 100 meters from the cafe. Now, if they disappeared at eight in the morning, it was logical that they came immediately and they will ask. ” if someone had seen it, even because there are no other nearby establishments. But it was only at 2 in the afternoon that the stepmother came. “
A “strange” couple
Surprised, like his clients, but repeating that everything seemed “very strange”, he concluded that, after all, “the stepmother came to the cafe to ask about the girl and she was already dead.” Outside, the popular ones do not give the benefit of the doubt. “So people from more than 100 kilometers came to look for the girl and he [o pai] Did you walk here like nothing happened? “asks Carlos Santos, who has actively participated in searches in recent days.
The atmosphere warms up when, in the middle of the afternoon, a Judicial Police car arrives, with Valentina’s father and an alleged murderer, to reconstruct the crime.
“Assassin! Monster! They should have turned you over to the people.” The emotion of those present is released without reins. There are those who do not contain tears, who come to leave flowers. Others insist that the couple was “strange”, although everyone assumes that “nobody knew them well”, because Sandro and Márcia lived in that place for less than a year. A popular woman approaches journalists, asks not to be identified and says that “she [a madrasta] It was a bit flamboyant. “And it goes further:” They both enjoyed the parties … at night. “
“I was a sweet girl”
The night is already threatening when Marcia Bernardo leaves the house where the crime occurred. Like her husband, she is toasted with an insult. “Assassin!” However, it is one of the mildest.
After three days of anguish, in the collective memory is Valentina’s innocent smile. Paulo Franco knew him well from his trips to the cafe: “She was a sweet girl. Always in a good mood, with a smile. She was friendly.”
