The case of the murder of Edwin Arrieta continues to grab headlines in the different media. Every day new data and information come to light about the heinous crime that Daniel Sancho allegedly committed a few weeks ago on the Thai island of Ko Pha Ngan.
This past Monday we learned the news that the results of the autopsy carried out on the body of the renowned Colombian surgeon indicated that Edwin Arrieta had died after being slit by Daniel Sancho and not due to a blow to the head as was initially speculated.
At the moment, the alleged murderer is in pretrial detention awaiting the trial to be held. But the case has taken a new turn again this Tuesday, when the number two of the Thai Police, Big Joke, has revealed in an exclusive interview with En boca de todos that Daniel Sancho has never been in prison on Koh Samui .
Big Joke’s words have been questioned by Daniel Sancho’s entourage, who wanted to deny this information on the Así es la vida program. First, the spokesperson for the defendant’s family, Carmen Balfagón, did it. “I can tell you that today Rodolfo Sancho has spoken with his son in the Koh Samui prison, and Daniel Sancho in the Koh Samui prison,” she declared.
The spokeswoman has also told how that call between father and son has gone, which according to what was revealed could only last approximately ten minutes. ”She has told him what life is like for her, as is normal, in the Koh Samui prison,” she pointed out. ”Daniel Sancho is in the Koh Samui prison, which is where his mother goes to see him, which is where he makes calls and videoconferences with his father,” she declared.
After the testimony of Carmen Balfagón, it was the lawyer himself in Thailand who denied to the cameras of the program the version that the Thai policeman had given. ”He doesn’t take any ferries. He’s just here. The prosecutor only allows him to go to court or Koh Samui prison,” the lawyer said.
