Last Tuesday, the Thai police gave a press conference in which they reported that The death penalty is not ruled out for Daniel Sancho for the murder of Edwin Arrieta considering that the young man acted with premeditation. However, we will have to wait until next September, the probable date of the trial, to know the decision of the Asian country’s justice.
The words of Surachate Hakparn, deputy director of the Thai police, caused a real tsunami in the nucleus of the Sancho family by putting the possibility of the maximum sentence on the table again so they decided to meet urgently. This is how Ramón Chippirrás, family spokesman, tells it in statements for ‘Espejo Público’.
“Her parents are totally devastated. If they were already bad, after yesterday’s press conference, the despondency is now total, ”she explains. “Yesterday we had a meeting to assess the press conference, we cannot hide that from them,” she adds. Likewise, Chippirrás insists on the importance of “respecting the investigation and the work” that is being carried out from the country where the events occurred. “We worked blindly until yesterday because they did not release the information to the lawyer who is there with Daniel”express.
“Until now we had a line of work with what arrived and the rest were hypotheses, these hypotheses are ruled out, at least officially, to give the maximum respect for the police investigation and start working”, affirms the spokesman for the Sancho family who does not hide his hope regarding a definitive resolution that does not go through the death penalty for the Spaniard.
“The request for the death penalty does not mean any change. Our main job and that of the Thai lawyer is to fight so that Daniel does not have that sentence of the death penalty. We will work based on Thai jurisdiction and we are here to collaborate with what Daniel’s lawyer requests from us in the voice of his parents, ”adds Chipirrás in the Antena 3 morning program. “The investigation is not 100% closed”ditch.
New script twist
With each passing day, new information is being released that tries to shed some light on this murky case. Information that is causing authentic script twists like this Wednesday after the defendant offered a second statement to the Thai authorities: “Sancho told them that he had a fight with Arrieta after he asked him to break up because he was going to marry another person. He said that if the conversation didn’t go well, he was going to have to kill him because He had a couple waiting for him to get married”.
