The young Spaniard Daniel Sancho, suspected of murdering the Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta, assured EFE on Monday that he wants to “collaborate in everything he can”, hours before being placed under judicial order.
Sancho, 29, made these statements from the Koh Phangan police station, the island where the alleged murder took place, when asked about the transfer, scheduled for today, to neighboring Koh Samui, where a judge will decide whether to present or No formal charges against you.
If so, it is very likely that Sancho would go on to be imprisoned until the trial, since the possibility of him being released on bail is low given the seriousness of the case.
