New details emerge from Thailand regarding the situation of the young Spaniard Daniel Sancho, who is under arrest in the Koh Samui prison after pleading guilty to the murder and dismemberment of the Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta.
Despite the statements of the prison director, Watcharapong Boonsaior, about Sancho’s state of mind, the testimonies of other prisoners paint a completely different picture, revealing an internal struggle and deep grief.
Two of Daniel’s fellow prisoners have broken their silence and have provided statements to Antena 3, shedding light on the true emotional state of the young man. These prisoners have claimed to have witnessed Sancho’s first admission to the Koh Samui prison and have revealed that in the first days his crying was constant and heartbreaking, noting that he “did not stop crying” and that “he was very bad”.
These statements clash head-on with previous statements by the prison warden about Daniel’s positive state of mind.
The contrast between these versions has opened up a new perspective on the story. Even the statements of Vicente Cacho, who stated that Sancho had not shed tears in prison, seem to be shaken. This discrepancy could become relevant in the context of the trial, since both the prosecution and the defense could use it to argue different points of view about Sancho’s mental health.
The emotional implications in the case have been further heightened by the details shared about Daniel’s first meeting with his mother. At that moment, the young man suffered an anxiety attack and began to cry uncontrollably, which led the authorities to interrupt the meeting ahead of schedule to calm him down. These events underscore the emotional exhaustion and anguish Sancho faces as he grapples with an uncertain future in the Thai legal system.
Daniel Sancho’s legal situation is complex and full of uncertainty, since, despite his wishes and the efforts of his family, it is unlikely that he will be able to be transferred to Spain to serve his sentence any time soon. In the midst of these circumstances, his emotional state is evident and has become an integral part of the narrative surrounding the case.
Statements from his fellow prisoners offer a glimpse into the internal torment he faces and highlight the need for a deeper and more careful assessment of his mental well-being as he navigates the complicated Thai legal system.
