The actor’s son Rodolfo Sancho, and therefore the grandson of Sancho Gracia, has confessed to having murdered and dismembered a Colombian in Thailand. Daniel Sancho Bronchalo, 29, who was traveling with the deceased, had cuts and scratches on his body when he went to the police station to report the disappearance.
The protagonist of the series Mar de plástico, devastated and shocked by news that could keep his son in jail for the rest of his life, is already traveling to Thailand, devastated by the terrible news. Reputable sources assure Informalia that the actor has tried unsuccessfully, before leaving, to contact Spanish diplomatic representatives in Bangkok but that he has finally “caught the first plane to come to the aid of his son.”
The grandson of the protagonist of Curro Jiménez, son of the protagonist of series such as La Señora, admitted to having murdered and dismembered the body of another foreigner of Colombian nationality on the popular Thai tourist island of Koh Pha Ngan. At least that is the information that the Thai Police has given this Saturday.
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.
Daniel Sancho Bronchalo arrived in Thailand on July 31 as a tourist and confessed to the murder, always according to the version provided by the Police. “He admitted it,” Panya Niratimanon, Koh Pha Ngan’s police chief, said, adding that the investigation is ongoing.
“The victim and the suspect knew each other before they came to Thailand, and their dubious activities indicate that they may have murdered the victim,” it added. The suspect works as a chef. The suspect’s photos appear to match images on the Instagram account of Daniel Sancho, who also follows the victim’s account. In addition, his Instagram account was previously tagged in Rodolfo Sancho’s posts.
A garbage collector had discovered that same Thursday a severed pelvis and human intestines hidden in a bag of fertilizers thrown into a dump on the tourist island, which prompted the Police to begin investigating a possible murder.
During a new search at the same landfill this Friday, more human remains were found, including a bag that had two parts of the lower extremities, along with a T-shirt and shorts, local media report.
The local authorities decided this Friday to question Sancho Bronchalo as a suspect, also as a result of noticing that he showed cuts and scratches on his body when he had gone to the police station to report the disappearance, the police told the Efe agency.
Rodolfo Sancho’s son was captured by security cameras earlier this week buying knives, a saw and garbage bags, and that they have searched his accommodation on the island located in the Gulf of Thailand and known for its full moon parties.
Sources from the environment of the grandson of “Curro Jiménez” suspect that everything could be a “trap” against Daniel to “charge him with a murder” and add that, knowing the defendant from a very young age, “it is absolutely improbable” that he could have committed the acts that are attributed to him.
The same sources explain to this outlet that “they have heard versions that suggest that Daniel” had been threatened with death” and “forced” by third parties and “under blackmail” to commit the murder.
