Shattered and dejected. Edwin Arrieta’s sister, the victim dismembered in Thailand, cannot hold back the tears in her first interventions before the cameras of ‘Caracol Noticias’. Darling Arrieta still cannot explain what has happened: “We cannot imagine it. It is torture every day. How would I suffer?“. He faces “irreparable” pain, as he has said, that the relatives will have to suffer for life.

“Not only did they end my brother’s life. They ended my family. God forbid, but what has happened to my parents can even cause death,” said Darling Arrieta. Although still in shock, demands answers. “I don’t know where my brother’s body is, what kind of tests are being done with him,” he asked.

Upon hearing the name of his alleged murderer, Daniel Sancho, Darling Arrieta denies that he knew him. But he is clear that he is damaging the image of his family: “This person is using my brother’s absence. He is dirtying my brother’s name.” Although he has the support of all his people, he asks for more help from the Colombian state, as the local journalist close to the case told Más Vale Tarde.

“He has requested direct help from the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, so that he can give direct advice and may have a diplomatic channel between Colombia and Thailand”, David González has specified. A help that has not yet arrived, but that is very necessary, as the victim’s own sister has assured, to achieve justice: “My brother’s crime cannot go unpunished.”

The family hopes that Daniel Sancho will serve his sentence in Thailand so as not to have any favorable treatment. Right now, he’s being held in this jail on Koh Samui,where conditions are really lousy. Also, the cells are lowercase, where up to 40 prisoners can be overcrowded They only have one bathroom. They review up to three times a day, where, in single file, they are forced to remain on their knees.
