The trial against Spanish citizen Daniel Sancho for the death of Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta in Thailand has resumed, with the possibility of the confessed murderer facing the death penalty. Sancho’s defense is seeking a life sentence, but the prosecution claims that the premeditation of the crime could lead to a capital punishment verdict.
Sancho’s interpreter, Pichett Wirathongchai, who had close contact with the accused during his time in prison, has spoken out about their relationship. According to Wirathongchai, Sancho does not fit the profile of a traditional criminal and has shown remorse and a desire to explain himself. This contrasts with other murderers Wirathongchai has encountered in his work.
