The Spanish Daniel Sancho took a turn in the judicial process that is being carried out against him for the murder of the Colombian Edwin Arrieta. Sancho pleaded not guilty, which means that his case will have other stages to determine his responsibility. The doctor’s family found out about the decision and was surprised.

Sancho had confessed to the Police that he attacked Arrieta to death on August 2 in a hotel room on Phagan Island, Thailand. However, he did not accept before a court the charge of premeditated murder or destruction of other people’s documentation that the Prosecutor’s Office formulated against him. He only admitted to the charge of hiding the body.
The son of the renowned actor Rodolfo Sancho, after his script change, has the possibility of giving a new statement which could differ from the initial one he gave to the Police.
For now, the crime he admitted of “concealment of the body, burial, deception or destruction of a body or part of a body, to cover up the death or cause of death” can be punished with a maximum of one year in prisonaccording to Thai law.

Juan Gonzalo Ospina, the lawyer for Edwin Arrieta’s family in Spain, informed them of the position adopted by Daniel Sancho.
“I spoke with them very early in Colombia, it was almost 2 am, to tell them how it had developed. They are still very worried, with some anxiety, you can say very sad, for all this that leads them to relive a rather difficult circumstance” , pointed out the lawyer for Europa Press.
Ospina, from Spain, sent them a message of support in these difficult times. In parallel, he anticipated that his legal team prepares material to face Sancho in the upcoming oral trial.

“He has simply admitted guilt to one of the charges. We will have to wait for the oral trial for the penalties that may be imposed on him. (…) We are finalizing details to make an accusation with the Prosecutor’s Office,” he added.
The attorney also revealed that Daniel Sancho’s parents have not contacted Arrieta’s parents or sister.: “The family is missing an aspect of humanity, the family does not seek revenge, it seeks to bring down the entire rule of law.”
