Daniel Sancho appeared in the provincial court of Samui (southern Thailand) this Monday, for the murder and dismemberment of Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta. A case in which he is accused of three crimes: premeditated murder, concealment of the body and destruction of other people’s documentation. Three crimes of which he pleads guilty only to the last two mentioned, claiming that it was not premeditated, but rather an accident.
This Monday’s hearing was held behind closed doors and lasted more than three hours. A time in which the court granted Sancho’s defense one last extension until December 12when you must present all the evidence for your trial.
An expansion that has not sat particularly well with Edwin Arrieta’s defense. From TardeAR they have managed to speak with Metapon Wuwancharenthe lawyer for the Colombian’s family in Thailand, who has confessed that everything went wellbut the accused requested the postponement because some evidence is not yet ready to be presented.
Sancho’s defense will be trying to delay the process
This, in addition, would be accompanied by a new movement in defense of the young chef, as Arrieta’s lawyer in Spain has confessed, Beatriz Uriarte, to the same Telecinco space. The lawyer has indicated that she is in constant contact with the Thai lawyers, and she thinks that there is a reality in the case, and that is that They will be trying to delay the process for reasons of strategy.
A strategy that would involve the arrival of a new witness. They are trying to propose a new witness that we do not know who he is, we have only been told that he is a Colombian personI don’t have the data, but we are going to be very incisive to find out what this person knows and how long he knows it, Uriarte concluded.
