The case of Daniel Sancho continues to be in the media spotlight due to all the information that has been emerging in recent weeks. Rodolfo Sancho’s son has been in Koh Samui prison for two and a half months, after confessing to having murdered and dismembered the Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta in Thailand. Now, his defense is working to achieve the minimum possible sentence for the accused.
However, at first, the Thai police plan to seek the death penalty for the cook. Something I could avoid. Artur Segarra, the man who dismembered another Spaniard in the Asian country in 2016, is the precedent that puts this possible change on the table. The criminal was able to avoid the death penalty thanks to the forgiveness of the country’s king. Now, he wanted to send a letter to the Let’s see program.
Artur Segarra has been in Bang Kwang prison for seven years, one of the most dangerous in the world, after “kidnapping, torturing, killing, dismembering and disposing of the body of another Spaniard in Thailand.” Given his similarities with the case of Daniel Sancho, the Telecinco program wanted to contact him through a letter at the end of August.
And it has not been until now that journalist Noelia Cañas has received a response. In order to communicate, in this letter, the imprisoned murderer refers to Cañas as her “dear cousin,” despite not being related.
The first thing that Artur Segarra wanted to do was to speak out, again, about Daniel Sancho. “Please pray for Mr. Sancho and respect the presumption of his innocence,” he began to relate. “Prayer is a great defense against sadness, and it helps, a lot,” he continued.
At the same time, he has not hesitated to talk about how “great” the country of Thailand is and how “wonderful” its people are. Although, yes, he has not stitched without a thread. “But, above all, do not visit Koh Thao, where unfortunately the murders number in the dozens,” she concluded.
And it is not the first time that Segarra has wanted to send a message to Daniel Sancho. “You have two options: fight the case, which will require an embassy official to be present during the trial, to face the capital punishment, to review statements and evidence,” he advised Rodolfo Sancho’s son.
“The second option is to accept a prior negotiation with the prosecution, a sentence of less than 30 years so that he can achieve the ‘excellent’ classification,” he continued. And, for him, “Thai justice cannot be trusted.”
