The Cuatro program, Código 10, advanced today the exclusive that Daniel Sancho, currently accused of murdering the Colombian Edwin Arrieta, was not in the Koh Samui jail as believed. As revealed by Big Joke, number two in the Thai police force, in an interview for the program, Rodolfo Sancho's son is not in Koh Samui, he is in Surat thani.
As explained by Ester Yañez, the Código 10 journalist who has interviewed Big Joke, it is "a prison that is in worse conditions than Koh Samui and an hour and a half by ferry from there". Prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty arrive at that jail, for "very serious" crimes, as Big Joke revealed to Yáñez.
In the interview, Big Joke explained that "the first few days (Daniel Sancho) was at the police station, but then they had to send him to a prison and they sent him to Surat thani, not Koh Samui."
As explained by the journalist Ester Yañez from Código 10, "neither the spokespersons for Sancho's justice, nor the embassy nor the family know anything about these transfers." Although these transfers will end this Friday, when the investigation is concluded.
Koh Phangan and Koh Samui are neighboring islands and since the crime was committed on Koh Phangan, the police investigating the crime are the ones who interrogate Daniel Sancho, but on Koh Samui. That is why Sancho, who is in Surat thani prison, makes a 2-hour ferry trip every day and then a 45-minute journey in a police van to reach Koh Samui, where he is interrogated daily and where he has been visited. by his mother.
