Darlin Arrieta’s Emotional Interview: Seeking Justice for her Murdered Brother

‘Mañaneros’ had been preparing very important content for a few days about one of the most notable cases of this summer. This Tuesday, September 12, Edwin Arrieta’s sister would be in the TVE magazine, allegedly murdered by Daniel Sancho. Darlin Arrieta sits this way for the first time on a television set as soon as he lands in Spain.

Since the start of the delivery, they have been splashing with images of Darlin announcing that today she was going to sit on the Prado del Rey set and in these interventions she assured that it would be her only interview, that she felt nervous, tired and anxious and that all this He did it to ask for justice. “I have had to face something that I never thought could happen to me, like giving interviews or flying for 24 hours.“, she commented to the camera, ensuring that it was a challenge for her but that “it is worth it because it is to clear my brother’s name and show who he really was.”

After several connections with Darlin Arrieta, the set of ‘Mañaneros’ finally received the sister of the Colombian surgeon, accompanied by Dani González, the reporter who traveled to Colombia to meet the Arrieta family. “It hasn’t been easy because I didn’t want to receive more press. They were overwhelmed. I sat down with the parents and we chatted for a while and they told me what they felt,” said González. Minutes later, Darlin sat down with Jaime Cantizano to give his first live interview.

“Why have I chosen RTVE and ‘Mañaneros’?” the presenter asked him. “When Dani decided to go to Colombia, we met him and my parents trusted him and decided that he should come to Spain to Spanish public television, which is the one that has given me the most confidence. There are Spanish media that really have not been sensitive or humane with the situation that the family is experiencing. They have distorted a lot of information, they have not made sure that it is true,” explained Darlin.

“I didn’t know this person existed in the world.“said Darlin, referring to Daniel Sancho, the son of Rodolfo Sancho’s actor. “We talked every day. It was not unusual for him to travel to Thailand because he loved to travel. Edwin’s dream was to validate his medical degree in Spain and he had to bring documentation, he was in that process,” clarified the Colombian surgeon’s sister.

“When he arrived in Bangkok it was the last time we spoke and we said goodbye that day and I never heard my brother’s voice again,” recalled Darlin Arrieta, bursting into tears when listening to those voice notes that his brother sent him and that ‘Mañaneros’ has broadcast live. “I didn’t take a step without consulting my brother,” she said, very emotional and with tears in her eyes.

So, Darlin has detailed how he contacted Daniel Sancho.

From there, Edwin Arrieta’s sister recalled her conversation with the chef, telling how she insisted that she go to the police. Besides, Darlin Arrieta has told what his contact with the Colombian consulate in Thailand was likewho told him that they found a body that could be Edwin.

“I cannot understand how a person can murder a human being in that way. You can have rage and you killed, that’s it, but you are not satisfied with killing him, but you have to do it the way you do it, You cut his throat and dismember him, and you are not satisfied with that. and he throws away his parts as if he were…”, Darlin denounced, very hurt. “You are not even capable of doing that to an animal that you find dead, I would not be able“, He said.

At that moment, Jaime Cantizano rectified it to emphasize that at this time we must “talk about presumption”, despite the fact that the presenter said he understood his pain. “They said that Edwin was a gangster and that he came from a drug trafficking family. My parents are elderly people, I don’t even smoke,” Darlin clarified, sad with all this information about her and her family. “What has hurt me is that they said that he was a drug dealer, diabolical, extremely dangerous, that they said that I had this person kidnapped. Respect my brother’s name“requested his sister.

A message to Daniel Sancho’s parents

At that time, Jaime Cantizano was interested in whether he had any type of communication with Daniel Sancho’s parents. “We have not had any type of communication with them. We have nothing against your mother or your father, because they are parents who are suffering.. If they want to go to my house, we will welcome them,” he clarified. Then, Cantizano suggested the possibility of sending a message to the parents of his son’s alleged murderer: “Let them remember that there are parents on the other side of the pond, of the elderly, they are also suffering, and more. My parents can’t hear their son’s voice again. Apparently, the information that my family is a drug trafficker and dangerous had come from them.“Darlin said.

Regarding the reaction of Edwin Arrieta’s sister to Rodolfo Sancho’s controversial statements in Thailand, the Colombian stressed that “it is human to make mistakes.” “I trust in God, we don’t have a lawyer in Thailand, man, human, in Thailand, I have a lawyer who is God, which is the one that defends us in Thailand. I believe in Thai justice and that is why I trust them and ask them to do justice. We want that penalty to be paid in Thailand. He must be tried in Thailand, according to Thai laws“Darlin insisted, already ending his interview in ‘Mañaneros’.
