Two months after learning of the crime committed by Daniel Sancho in Thailand, where he murdered and dismembered the Colombian Edwin Arrieta as he himself confessed shortly after, there are still many doubts surrounding the case that has as its protagonist the son of the Spanish actor Rodolfo Sancho.
The young cook remains in prison waiting for the trial to be held, something for which he will still have to wait at least a few more weeks. Until then, testimonies continue to be collected from people close to Daniel, or who have also suffered some type of altercation with him. The latter is what a man denounces whose experience came to light this Tuesday on TardeAR, Ana Rosa Quintana's program on Telecinco.
It all happened in the early hours of September 2017, according to investigative journalist Manu Marlasca. "A man who was attacked by Daniel Sancho; it all happened in a nightclub in Chamartín, in the north of Madrid," he said, always in agreement with this testimony.
"There Sancho, with a glass, hit him, broke the bones of his nose and part of the teeth of him and another person who was accompanying him," reveals Marlasca. An attack suffered by a man who wanted to show his face and who even dared to speak of a possible racist component in Daniel's actions, also considering Edwin Arrieta's Colombian nationality.
Richard William Medina, the full name of the victim, has offered his complete testimony to TardeAR. "He was rebuking and insulting us, and then he punched a friend of mine [...] My friend had a glass of cider in his hand and with said glass he hit him in the mouth and broke his teeth," he begins by recounting. . They both struggled and when Richard wanted to mediate the conflict, he received "a punch in the nose, he broke it and I fell to the ground," he says.
The fight took them to trial and Daniel Sancho had to pay "about 14,000 euros more or less of the cost of the trial and compensation," according to Medina. The man also believes that there may be a racist factor both in this attack and in the murder for which he is serving prison in Thailand: "Having dismembered a Colombian, I don't know if this person has anything against what the black race," Richard has said about Sancho.
