Rodolfo Sancho spends two and a half hours in jail with his son

The third week of the trial against Daniel Sancho in Koh Samui court for the murder and dismemberment of Edwin Arrieta and both the accused and his father have changed scene. This Monday, while in the courtroom it was being discussed (with visible anger on the part of the judge) whether or not the police found the chest of the Colombian surgeon, father and son spent more than two hours together in jail to prepare their statement, which will have place this Thursday.

The protagonist of plastic sea He arrived early this Monday morning at the Koh Samui prison, where his son has been held since August 7. Wearing an orange t-shirt, denim pants and a relaxed attitude, she entered the center where Daniel was waiting for her, as well as the lawyer and the advisors with whom she reviewed his statement: “He is preparing it thoroughly,” they said in TardeAR. Rodolfo will take the east stand Thursday April 25 and he will do so as a witness. We already met her version a few days ago in the documentary he recorded for HBO: “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.”

On the same Thursday, Daniel Sancho himself will face the judge. It will be his turn to speak in the courtroom as the accused and defend his version: that Edwin’s death was not premeditated but the result of a struggle and that, after his death, he acted in panic to dispose of the body.

One day before, on Wednesday the 24th, the Spanish lawyer will testify Juango Ospina, as a witness for the Arrieta family, since they were denied the statement via electronic means. The lawyer will focus on the evidence that suggests that Daniel did prepare Edwin’s death (the purchase of knives and cleaning products, the rental of two different bungalows…) and also the precarious economic and emotional situation in which he is immersed. the Arrieta family after Edwin’s death.
