History repeats itself for Daniel Sancho, who has seen his new hearing before the judge postponed again, although now the reason is very different from before. If the first appearance of the confessed murderer of Edwin Arrieta was postponed at the request of the accused, due to the lack of a translator into Spanish, now it is the lack of evidence on the part of his defense that has caused a new postponement until December 12. December.
This Tuesday, the Telecinco program TardeAR returned to Ko Pha Ngan, the Thai island where the alleged crime occurred almost four months ago, to learn first-hand about some of the witnesses that the Asian country's Prosecutor's Office will provide against Daniel, and whose Testimony is key in the reconstruction of the facts.
Journalist María Miñana recalled that, as soon as he landed in Thailand, the first thing Sancho did was rent a motorcycle. There, a worker at the establishment tells what the police asked her after learning about the crime. "I had to go look for the motorcycle at the police station because the police confiscated it to investigate the crime," she said.
The woman claims to not yet know if she will be called to testify, although if so, she does not know if she will be able to attend because she has "a lot of work." "The motorcycle is not here because another client has rented it at the moment, yesterday there was a full moon and I rented all my motorcycles," he says, referring to the Full Moon Party, the same one that Daniel attended with Edwin Arrieta.
It was on Wednesday, August 2, when Daniel Sancho murdered and dismembered Edwin Arrieta, after renting a bungalow in a very quiet place close to the sea. The person in charge of the attached hotel tells what she witnessed and what she has learned from third parties. "The police entered our hotel to gain access to the beach. A client of mine saw Daniel kayaking alone at night. I also found out what happened because a person found a part of the body on the shore," the woman said.
Another woman, the one in charge of selling the kayak to Rodolfo Sancho's son, already spoke months ago on The Summer Program and will be another of those called by the Prosecutor's Office to testify. Specifically, Daniel paid around a thousand dollars for the canoe. Along with them, the police officers who attended to Sancho after the crime will also appear, as well as the clerks at the supermarket where he bought the saw, bags, scouring pads and rubber bands.
