Daniel Sancho, the son of actor Rodolfo Sancho and grandson of Sancho Gracia -famous for his role in Curro Jiménez in the famous TVE series-, has confessed to having murdered and dismembered the body of a foreign man of Colombian nationality on the popular tourist island Thai company from Koh Pha Ngan, as reported by the Police this Saturday.
Apparently, both were friends. Authorities believe the body parts, including hips and thighs, found in a dumpster Thursday, belong to a 44-year-old Colombian plastic surgeon, whom they identified as Edwin Arrieta Arteaga. Some sources indicate that the young man would have torn his friend into “14 pieces”.
“He admitted it,” Panya Niratimanon, the Koh Pha Ngan police chief, told AFP, adding that the investigation is ongoing. “The victim and the suspect knew each other before coming to Thailand, and their dubious activities indicate that he could murder the victim,” the same source added. The news has caused a great commotion in Spain and in the Southeast Asian country.
Daniel Sancho Bronchalo, 29, arrived in Thailand on July 31 on vacation. The suspect works as a chef and is the son of the well-known Spanish actor Rodolfo Sancho, well known for his participation in such successful series as ‘Al salir de clase’, ‘Hermanos de leche’, ‘Hospital Central’ or ‘Isabel’.
The agents in charge of the investigation suspect that it is a premeditated murder, since they discovered that Sancho had bought the day before a knife, rubber gloves, a kitchen sponge, a cleaning pad and a bottle of detergent. When they checked his hotel room, they realized that the refrigerator, bathroom, and kitchen sink had been washed, but in the drains they found traces of blood, grease, and hair.

Neither the Spanish embassy in Bangkok, nor Rodolfo Sancho, nor his agent have wanted to comment. Thailand is a relatively safe country, where violent crime is rare. Koh Pha Ngan is famous for its white sandy beaches and attracts thousands of backpackers to its wild ‘full moon’ parties.
In 2014, another nearby tourist island, Koh Tao, was the scene of the murder of two young British backpackers. Two Burmese nationals are serving life sentences for these events, but human rights groups have accused the Thai authorities of using the men as scapegoats.
Rodolfo Sánchez’s son has carved out a professional career in the kitchen and recently worked in a catering company. In addition, he is very active on social networks and has a YouTube channel where he posts videos with some of his recipes.
