The investigation against daniel sancho is reaching its final stretch. Thai police are getting closer to gathering all the key evidence in the case. The last thing missing: half of Edwin Arrieta’s corpse, his mobile phone, and the results of the forensic analysis.

One of the crucial clues has been the receipt for the purchase that Daniel Sancho made on August 1, a day before Edwin Arrieta arrived on the island. Found in one of the bags that contained Arrieta’s remains, it was one of the threads that led to Sancho. Now the bill reveals that the Spaniard spent about 40 euros on a knife 34 centimeters long and 9 wide, on garbage bags, plastic gloves, metal sponges, plastic wrap, rubber bands, and fruit.

Another key piece of information: the night that Sancho reported Arrieta’s disappearance, he had finger cutswhich, according to a witness who spent the day with him, the Spaniard attributed to a coconut he was trying to open.

In this last phase, the deputy chief of thai police will move to Ko Pha Ngan. Colloquially known as ‘Big Joke’, he had gone to the island as soon as the first parts of the body were found and is now back to give a press conference where he is expected to announce the end of the police investigation.

This week Daniel Sancho will also finish his ten days of isolation. From then on, he will be able to receive visitors. Although the family spokesman, Ramón Chipirrás, has clarified that his father, Rodolfo Sancho, does not plan to travel to Thailand for now.
