In this document, the lawyers-criminologists try to demonstrate that the utensils he bought were for culinary purposes in the Asian country, due to his status as a chef and his passion for Thai cuisine: “Among the many applications in the kitchen, the knife , the saw and the board are also used to deal with durian – a very popular fruit in the country – or open coconuts, among others.
And they add: “If (Daniel) wants to dismember a corpse, based on his knowledge as a chef, he does not buy the saw that the Police indicate; he would have bought his own saw used in the kitchen to cut pieces of meat.”
At the same time, they cling to the fact that the ticket for this saw did not appear and they also focus on “the green bags” through which the Police came to him. In this sense, the office assures that the garbage bags do not match the brand and model of the establishment where Sancho purchased them.
