the young spanish Daniel Sancho, suspected of murdering Colombian surgeonEdwin Arrieta, who wants to “collaborate in everything he can”, hours before being placed under judicial disposition. The son of actor Rodolfo Sancho has made these statements to the Efe news agency hours after assuring that he was “guilty” of the murder of the Colombian but that he did it because he “was his hostage.”
Sancho, 29, spoke from the Koh Phangan police station, the island where the alleged murder took place, when asked about the transfer, scheduled for today, to the neighboring Koh Samui, where a judge will decide whether or not to file formal charges against you.
If so, it is very probable that Sancho would go on to be imprisoned until the trial, since the possibility of him being released on bail is low given the seriousness of the case.
During the conversation with Efe, the young man insisted that the Thai police on Koh Phangan “are treating him very well” and reveals that the agents guarding him they took him to dinner at a restaurant on the island the day before.
He also assured that he was then able to speak on the phone with his family and friends. Sancho’s family has hired a private office to defend the young man, according to sources close to the case, although for the moment the Thai public defender continues to represent him.
