Surachate Hakparn, deputy director of the Thai police, confirmed at a press conference that recommends requesting the death penalty for Daniel Sanchoin provisional prison after confessing to the murder and dismemberment of the Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta.
The one known as Big Joke, head of this investigation, stated that The local authorities totally rule out the accident and recommend requesting the maximum penalty for Rodolfo Sancho’s son since they consider that it is a premeditated murder because the young chef bought part of the material he used to dismember the victim and clean the scene of the crime before meeting him in Thailand. “It is a murder with planning and the death penalty is generally requested for these.”
In addition, rule out the participation of another person in the crime, since they have only found DNA from Daniel Sancho and Edwin Arrieta, and they consider that the motive for the murder was Sancho’s determination to end the relationshipdespite the reluctance of the Colombian surgeon, who did not want to break.
About it, the police themselves leaked that the Latin American doctor would have sent messages with death threats regarding the end of the relationship to Sancho’s motive, however, at a press conference they said that they cannot discuss the content of these communications. “About the messages, we cannot reveal anything about the contents. But Daniel has confessed that he killed Edwin because he wanted to leave the relationship and Edwin did not want it that way.”, he added.
On the other hand, the police reported at the press conference that they found $9,000 in a safe in Daniel Sancho’s room.
Cause of death
After confirming that they have made psychological and substance use experts on the confessed murderer, They are now investigating the victim’s cause of death.. Ruled out the accident the hypotheses that are being considered are the stabbing to the side of the left breast (because there is a hole in the victim’s shirt there), a blow against the sink or the bathtub or death by dismemberment. The weapons used for this, according to the authorities, would be a knife and a saw.
The instruction will still continue and It is expected that the defense of Sancho Gracia’s grandson will request new proceedings in view of the trial, which will almost certainly take place in September.
