The investigation into the case of the murder of Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta in Thailand continues its course. The Thai Police shared a new unexpected twist in the case a few hours ago, after sharing the results of the victim's autopsy; and it is that Arrieta died when his throat was slit by Daniel Sancho, and not from trauma as was believed at first and his murderer confessed.
Some definitive data that put Sancho in more trouble, for whom the country's police intend to request the death penalty for the crime, committed on August 2. A situation that is taking the Sancho family to the limit, who are still devastated and unable to assimilate what happened. So much so that until a few days ago, Rodolfo Sancho and his brothers Rodrigo and Félix, had tried to keep her mother, Noela Aguirre, oblivious to everything that happened with her grandson, with whom he had a close relationship.
Some horrifying events from which the woman could not be isolated any longer, given the international impact of the case. As confirmed by Rodrigo Sancho, the widow of the remembered Sancho Gracia knew a few days ago the horrible facts that her grandson, with whom she also lived recently, had confessed to the police. "She is a strong woman, really," said Rodrigo Sancho.
However, Noela Aguirre has not yet been in contact with her grandson Daniel, who remains in Koh Samui prison awaiting trial, which is presumed to take place in September. Rodrigo Sancho confirmed that Daniel Sancho's grandmother had not been able to speak with her grandson, although he hoped that this contact would take place soon, since women are a fundamental piece in the life of her nephew.
The person who has received a visit from is his mother, Silvia Bronchalo; and in a few days it is expected that her father will also travel. At the moment, it is ruled out that the rest of the family will move to Thailand, although in the event that the case is prolonged or that Daniel Sancho has to serve his sentence in the Asian country, it is rumored that the family plans to organize to spend more time near where he is incarcerated.
For the moment, the family's desire is to bring Daniel Sancho back to Spain, so that if he has to serve a sentence, he does so in our country.
At the moment, the Police have considered the case "closed" when they have finished collecting evidence, and are preparing the final report to send it to the Prosecutor's Office before the end of this week. According to the law, the police authorities have 83 days for the investigation, which began when Sancho entered pretrial detention on August 7.
Daniel Sancho was accused by the Police of premeditated murder after he himself confessed to having killed and dismembered Edwin Arrieta on August 2 on the Thai island of Koh Phangan. Sancho and Arrieta, who met last year through Instagram, had met on the island the same day the surgeon was murdered and dismembered, whose remains have been found in various locations on the island, including the sea. .
