The head of the Koh Phangan police station claims that they tricked Daniel Sancho with questions until he confessed: “He cried a lot”

Daniel Sancho has once again received a visit from his mother, Silvia Bronchalo, in the Koh Samui prison, where he has been since he confessed to having killed and dismembered the Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta. This comes after the actor Rodolfo Sancho, his father, has left Thailand after spending a few days going to see the accused.

The protagonist of Sea of ​​Plastic traveled to the Asian country, above all, to be able to secure his son's defense. His lawyer, Marcos García Montes, confessed that the objective was to obtain "a prison sentence that would allow him to be in Spain in four years." Therefore, they are willing to fight to get the police's death penalty request commuted to a life sentence.

After this, Telecinco's new morning program Let's See has managed to conduct the first interview with Colonel Paisan Sangthep, head of the Koh Phangan police station and in charge of the investigation. Big Joke's right-hand man wanted to take a look at the suspicions and reasons that led the police to arrest Daniel Sancho.

The Colonel has stated that they are sure that Daniel committed the crime because they have "multiple pieces of evidence" that confirm it. "We have the cameras, the DNA and eyewitnesses," he said. And the police report states that there are up to 28 recordings of Rodolfo Sancho's son that place him as the main suspect.

Likewise, the commissioner has given the key to the police's conduct during the first interrogation. "We tried to trick Daniel with questions when he was still a suspect until he confessed and we were able to arrest him immediately," he said.

Such were the questions that Daniel Sancho had no choice but to confess the facts. "He had a lot of remorse and as soon as he started to confess everything collapsed. He started crying a lot," said the police officer.

"What we know in general terms is that the two knew each other and made a date to travel together to Koh Phangan," he continued. And the police report itself records this fact: "They had been in love for approximately a year, the accused attempted to break off and end the relationship with the deceased. But the deceased did not give consent to it."

Furthermore, he wanted to give more information about the suspicions that fall on Daniel Sancho: "This hotel was the scene of the crime and we discovered that after Edwin entered the hotel he did not come out again. Therefore, we believe that Daniel was the one who "He committed the murder because he was the only person and the last person who was with Edwin."
