Although Sancho initially confessed that he had ended Arrieta’s life, months later he remarked that it would have been an accident, so The Colombian’s autopsy was one of the crucial points to delegitimize or not the new Spanish version, since through this process the cause of the surgeon’s death could be determined..
Finally, and after several months of searching, this was ruled out after the authorities reported that it was not possible to know the cause of Arrieta’s death because the thorax was not found in the sea or the landfill indicated by Sancho; In this way, the version of the Thai police in which it was stated that the Spaniard stabbed the Colombian in the chest was the one formally presented in the report delivered to the prosecution.
According to journalist Álvaro López de Telecinco, During one of the last sessions of the trial, the agents who were in charge of the case were asked about the existence of Arrieta’s chest, to which one of the police officers stated “I only transcribed what my bosses told me.”which opened the door to the existence of this part of the body, which would be crucial to determine the causes of the Colombian’s death.
In the same way, López highlighted that this question from the judge was recorded after a document was revealed in which it is stated that a torso was found during the search, but the other reports do not mention it.
“We have had access to a document, number 241, where on August 4, the day the police went where Daniel Sancho allegedly deposited the doctor’s body and collected three specific parts. Police found a left hand, a skull and a thorax“said the journalist from Telecinco.
In the event that it is confirmed that Edwin Arrieta’s thorax was found, this could confirm or deny the version in which Daniel Sancho stated that the Colombian’s death occurred during an argument in which he ended up hitting himself with the bathroom sink. bathroom, while the police emphasize that the Spaniard stabbed the surgeon and then dismembered him.
It should be noted that this clarification could completely change Sancho’s destiny, since If it is confirmed that he planned the murder of the Colombian, it is most likely that he will end up being sentenced to the death penalty and not life imprisonment, which is the objective of his lawyers..
While the trial against the Spaniard will continue on April 23, the leak of this information coincides with the arrest of two Telecinco journalists in Thailand, who despite stating that they have a valid work visa, are being held in a station from the police because the agents told them that the permit they have does not allow them to carry out journalistic work.
