The murder case of Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta made headlines in half of Spain in 2023. The crime committed in Thailand left an unexpected confession from the Spanish cook Daniel Sancho, who claimed to have murdered and then dismembered Your partner. An investigation that has taken many turns and has also left a multitude of controversies, especially in recent weeks.
The press conference of the Chippirrás-Balfagón law firm with Marcos García Montes left a host of accusations against the Thai police last Friday. From the negligence of agents, judges and lawyers during the process to an alleged false blackmail, in which the security forces made him sign a confession in exchange for an extradition to Spain that would never arrive. However, a question has left one of the lawyers confused.
Joaquín Prat did it this afternoon in Vamos a ver, the morning show he presents on Telecinco. García Montes has been one of the guests on this Monday’s program, and a question from the communicator has left him a lot, even causing him to change the subject: “If there is a fight, first, how does Daniel Sancho verify that Edwin Arrieta has died? And, second, why does he dismember him and distribute his remains throughout the island of Koh Phangan?
“I spoke with Rodolfo on August 15 and on the 21st I called him and told him that the police have leaked that there has been a fight, a fight that we do not know about either through the courts or through a lawyer, so the police are admitting that there was a fight. fight. The images show that Daniel did not suffer injuries from a fight but from aggression. There are several bites. In the autopsy there is no date of death nor do they say the cause of death,” García Montes responded to Prat’s question.
“The autopsy is complicated since what your client does is dismember the victim’s body and throw away his remains; only half of them have actually been found. Does your client verify that he had died after that blow? ”The presenter insisted. However, García Montes has remained silent: “As a professional I cannot reveal professional secrets… I have to focus on what is in this procedure, which is four months of police leaks.”
“We are going to prove a series of facts proven in the procedure, we do not want to deviate from the prosecutor’s brief. The president of this court and magistrates have behaved magnificently well and with absolute impartiality, the police have done it that way,” added the lawyer, who remains optimistic: “There have been many rulings by the Supreme Court of this kingdom that “They contradict the version of the prosecutor and the police and agree with the defendant, and we trust in this justice and in the court-appointed lawyer.”
