Although two months have passed since the fateful day of August 5, when the terrible crime that Daniel Sancho allegedly committed in Thailand came to light, the controversy surrounding the case is more alive than ever.
The young chef and businessman, son and grandson of the artists Rodolfo Sancho and Sancho Gracia respectively, was arrested after reporting the disappearance of Edwin Arrieta, since, after a few first moments of confusion and nervousness, he confessed that he had murdered the Colombian surgeon and that He had dismembered his body on the island of Koh Phanghan, located in southern Thailand.
A few days later, the authorities of the Asian country ordered his entry into prison because they had a confession and different evidence that placed him at the scene of the crime, as well as videos from security cameras buying the tools he used to end the crime. doctor’s life, etc.
After two months in which the Phangan Island Police have been investigating the crime tirelessly, the authorities have decided to maintain the accusation of premeditated murder and concealment of the body against the Spaniard in the final report they delivered last Monday to the Prosecutor’s Office. It should be said that they are the same charges that were brought against him when he was brought to justice and entered into provisional prison.
This morning, the magazine dedicated to the gossip press and social chronicle SEMANA has published an exclusive interview with Khun Anan, a Thai lawyer who handled Daniel Sancho’s case for more than a month in the Asian country.
”If they do not change their legal strategy, he will be sentenced to the death penalty no matter what,” the lawyer explained to the journalists of the aforementioned media. In the conversation, the jurist has also confessed that he knows that the family received calls from many legal workers interested in the case and that, despite what was said, he was the one who decided to resign from the case and abandon it.
In the interview, Anan made it clear that he had a good understanding with the alleged murderer and that they seemed to have a clear strategy to follow, but that after a family visit everything changed and that Sancho wanted to go down a path that he did not share, so who decided to get out of the case. Furthermore, he has explained that he feels that the defendant’s new Spanish lawyer, Marcos García Montes, has laughed at his work in public.
Although when they worked together they focused on reducing the penalty as much as possible, the young chef preferred to change tactics, something that separated him from the Thai, who in the interview defined this new turn as ”indefensible”. Finally, the worker explained that he already warned Sancho that by ”adulterating the truth” he would cross the red line of the death penalty (since there was a lot of conclusive evidence), but that he could not help someone who I didn’t want to listen to him. ”The only worry I have now is that Daniel ends up in the hands of someone whose strategy could lead to capital punishment,” he explained openly.
