The actor Rodolfo Sanchofather of the young Spaniard accused of having murdered Edwin Arrieta in Thailand, has spoken again to say that he is “firm” and “calm”, since the investigation into the murder accusation against his son, the cook Daniel, continues Sancho, what acknowledged having killed the Colombian Edwin Arrieta.

Sancho has said these brief words in a message to a journalist from Espejo Público, while new details about the investigation continue to be learned. Daniel Sancho’s family has barely spoken since the event, they have only issued a couple of statements: a first letter asking for “maximum respect” for his son as soon as the case was known; in another, more recently, the family spoke through their lawyer in Thailand and expressed condolences to the Arrieta family, in addition to reiterating that “they will remain silent so as not to interfere in the investigation.”

The Thai State Attorney, Khun Panikorn, has said in an interview also in Espejo Público that the trial is expected to take place in the next 4 to 6 monthsdepending on the development of the investigation, and has ensured that the sentence to Sancho could remain in life imprisonment As long as you “collaborate 100%”. However, Daniel Sancho’s legal team explained this Thursday to EFE in an interview that the collaboration of Spanish with the process could speed up the police investigation, which must be concluded in a maximum of 84 days.

The succession of information that is arriving from different sides is confusing as there are terms that have not yet been confirmed. One of the latest details that have emerged from the investigation would be some messages on Daniel Sancho’s mobile that could prove that Edwin Arrieta had threatened to kill him. This would confirm the defendant’s version that he was obsessed with him.

On August 5, Daniel Sancho confessed to having murdered Colombian doctor Edwin Arrieta in Thailand. He is currently awaiting trial and serving pretrial detention on Koh Samui. So far, his lawyer told EFE, the Thai police have ruled on two charges against Daniel, one is premeditated murder, and the other is concealment of evidence of a crime.

Experts in international law are confident that the police are complying with the protocols during the investigation, although they question whether has not broken the chain of custody in evidence as important to the case as the kayak that Sancho rented to throw the remains of Arrieta’s body into the sea, kayak that is still exposed on the beach.

Meanwhile, and oblivious to all this information, the young chef comes to life in thai prison Koh Samui, where he entered on August 7, and where, also through his lawyer, it has been known that he is calm and that he practices exercise and yoga.
