Daniel Sancho, sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta, spent his first night in Thailand’s Surat Thani prison and is under a Covid-19 quarantine that will last between six and 10 days.
Since most of the prison staff speak Thai, the Spanish cook asked if “anyone spoke English” and asked for a translator, according to a prison guard’s account cited by the agency. Efe.
Once the quarantine is over, “a decision will be made on which district to stay in, since there are few foreigners, most are from Myanmar and Cambodia,” he said. The prison administration has so far refused to specify which district Daniel Sancho will be transferred to.
A 29-year-old man has been found guilty of murdering and dismembering Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta, cutting him into 14 pieces and dumping them in various parts of Koh Phangan island in Thailand.
