Carmen Balfagón, spokesperson for the family of Daniel Sancho, after knowing the autopsy of Edwin Arrieta: "We are not going to collaborate in the defense"

The case of the alleged crime committed by Daniel Sancho in Thailand has taken a new turn after knowing the result of the autopsy performed on the body of Edwin Arrieta. This Monday, the police of the Asian country revealed its content and ruled how the death of the Colombian surgeon occurred at the hands of the son of actor Rodolfo Sancho.

"First they fought [...] Daniel punched him, then the doctor (Arrieta) fell and hit his head against the sink, but he did not die at that moment, but when (Sancho) began to cut his throat, according to forensics", explained the number two of the police force, known as Big Joke, to the EFE news agency. The spokesman has also granted an interview to the En boca de todos program, assuring that Daniel "washed Edwin's clothes" to remove any traces of blood from them.

Given the latest developments in the investigation, Así es la vida has contacted Carmen Balfagón, spokesperson for the Sancho family, to find out her opinion on the result of the autopsy on Arrieta's body. "Little assessment, is what the Thai police have said and as such we accept it. I imagine that they will also communicate it to Daniel's lawyer and little else to say," she responded concisely in the Telecinco program.

The criminal lawyer has also decided not to comment based on her professional knowledge and stick solely to her role as spokesperson. "If I spoke as a criminologist, I would speak in a different way, and you will allow me that, even though there are people in this country who do not yet know what criminology is, and they show it in some media," Balfagón assured Sandra Barneda. .

Carmen Balfagón has also downplayed the reaction of Rodolfo Sancho and Silvia Bronchalo after learning of the statement from the Thai police. "The family is surprised by the whole case, and this report does not increase the surprise. It is one more report and that's it, and it has been admitted as it can be admitted, and we do not have to assess it," she said.

Finally, the spokeswoman assured that she is not acting as a lawyer for the family. "The defense is carried out by a lawyer in Thailand; we are not going to collaborate in the defense because I imagine that when the report to which the police refers is available, they will pass it on to us to see it," concluded Balfagón.
