Rodolfo Sancho shows nerves of steel before testifying at the trial of his son Daniel: “Everything is prepared”

Countdown to one of the key moments of the trial against Daniel Sancho for the murder and dismemberment of Edwin Arrieta. This Thursday, April 25, is question time for the accused and also for his father, Rodolfo Sancho. Both will sit in front of the judge to explain their version of what happened and face the interrogation of the parties, a statement that they face with calmness and integrity: “Everything is ready”said the protagonist of Plastic Sea this Wednesday.

Let us remember that Rodolfo spent more than two and a half hours in prison last Monday preparing this intervention together with his son’s Thai lawyer and the advisor who accompanies them in the procedure. His version, however, is known to us thanks to the documentary he has recorded for the HBO platform: “In a state of shock, he tells me that he had a fight with a guy I knew nothing about and that it ended tragically”he related. “This guy had threatened to kill him and to harm his family. And he defended himself against an attempted sexual assault.”

The last day in Koh Samui has been truly complicated. The scheduled power outages in the area have left all the session participants without air conditioning, who have remained for eight hours in a room without air conditioning at more than 40 degrees. Juango Ospina, the Spanish lawyer who advises the Arrietas, testified this Wednesday and revealed that some people left the room crying at the crudeness of the stories. Rodolfo himself has also expressed his satisfaction with how the procedure is developing: “Ospina has finally acknowledged that there was a fight, right? Fights are violent”has said.

The actor maintains his spirit and faith in the Thai judicial process, where the blunders of the police in charge of the case continue to come to light. The last: according to the report, they found Edwin’s chest, key to determining the cause of his death. The reality is that they never found it. Experts assure that it will be very difficult to prove the premeditation defended by the prosecution. Daniel’s defense is calm.
