The contradictions in the case of Rodolfo Sancho’s son, suspected of the murder of a Colombian doctor in Thailand

The terrible news of the alleged involvement of Rodolfo Sancho’s son in the murder and dismemberment of a Colombian surgeon in Thailand shook the media this Saturday.

But as the hours go by, many doubts arise about the reality of what happened since the information that came from Bangkok is all police leaks to local media, as we collected here. However, we have not been able to verify whether the interrogation in which he allegedly accused himself Daniel Sancho was carried out with the assistance of a lawyer and with guarantees that he would not be forced to confess under pressure or in psychological circumstances that would legally invalidate any testimony.

On the other hand, the police version, widely disseminated by the authorities, shows clear signs of implausibility. Sources from the environment of Rodolfo Sancho’s son consulted by Informalia They insist on it: “Daniel is openly heterosexual, I have known him several girlfriends, he has had stable relationships and all with women”, a friend tells us who does not want us to make his identity public but who was with him on vacation in Formentera with a cluster. “It has been said that he had been in Thailand for two months and it is uncertain,” they assure us. “He was on a boat for a few days and it was then, a little over ten days ago, when he flew to Thailand because he likes Muay Thai and he wanted to perfect it with the best teachers, who are in that country,” they insist. Daniel Sancho traveled to the island on July 31.

Indeed, Informalia has been able to verify that “until a month or two ago”, Daniel was in a relationship with a young woman. her age, a businesswoman in the high-end automobile sector. “Now he was with another. Daniel is a flirt, he is tall, handsome and with a body that he takes care of in the gym every day for hours,” they clarify. “His main hobby of his is playing sports and eating well,” they tell us. “He is an accomplished chef, studied at Le Cordon Bleu, makes some great YouTube videos and has a business that his father helped him start,” they explain. “But it is that in addition to cooking, he likes to eat. Daniel goes more than once a week to eat at top-level places, he leaves some pasta because he likes it and because he loves to learn,” says our source. “It is quite common to find him eating in the best restaurants in Madrid, where he often goes with his maternal grandmother, Noela,” they tell us. They refer to the mother of Rodolfo and widow of Sancho Graciathe protagonist of Curro Jiménez, whose death, due to lung cancer, will be just eleven years ago this Tuesday.

Daniel’s healthy and financially comfortable life, with long-standing relationships and stable girlfriends, with a group of very specific friends, does not fit with the story that, always according to the police, has been made of what happened. “It is absolutely false that the deceased surgeon had a relationship with Daniel beyond a simple friendship,” they reiterate from Daniel’s environment. “Another thing is that the Colombian doctor wanted to have something more with him, but Daniel likes girls and not boys,” they insist.

As soon as we were aware of the horrifying event, and as we anticipated yesterday Saturday in scoop from Informalia, the actor Rodolfo Sancho and father of Daniel took a plane to be with his son and assist you in any way that is humanly possible. Logically, the protagonist of La Señora is “devastated” and “is going to help his son in the most complicated situation, unimaginable just a few days ago,” they confirm from the Spanish environment.

Police maintain that the actor’s son would have confessed to the murder to the Thai authorities, and is being arrested on suspicion of murdering a Colombian doctor who was in Thailand on vacation. The victim’s body was found in a dump in black garbage bags.

The detainee’s first call was to his father, who went into shock, which did not stop him from setting off at full speed to leave for Thailand.

Daniel’s environment in Madrid clarifies that they believe he had a “certain friendship” with the murdered surgeon but that “they have practically just met.” It was when the Colombian disappeared that Daniel himself called the authorities to report the disappearance.

We anticipated this Saturday that according to some sources, Rodolfo’s son said that this man tried to have sex with him but was rejected.

The body, located in a landfill, was identified thanks to the head

Rodolfo Sancho now has contacted an eminent criminal lawyer to make the appropriate arrangements, in addition to alerting the Spanish embassy and consulate.

The Bangkok press reported that Daniel made the reservation for the murdered doctor’s hotel but that Rodolfo’s son had arrived in the country first and went to meet him at the airport to bring him to the hotel.

Police found parts of the body of that Colombian doctor after searching the hotel room where the murder is believed to have occurred, according to a senior official from region eight of the provincial police.

The Thai press have published images allegedly of Daniel going to the store to buy knives, bags and a series of other things. It was a cleaning employee who found some remains.

Thailand is not exactly the state with the most legal guarantees, not to mention its prisons or democratic freedoms, which are not exactly those of a true rule of law.

Daniel Sancho, according to the laws of Thailand, would face being found guilty of this murder in a trial with a terrible sentence that could be life but it does not seem that the death penalty can be imposed, which is carried out by firing squad In the Thai penal code capital punishment is for those who murder a Thai. Another hope, within the seriousness of the matter, is that Thailand would agree to be tried and found guilty to Daniel would at least serve prison in Spain. Prisons in Thailand are military, and the conditions for the prisoners are terrible. It cannot be ruled out that in police interrogations they press to the point that someone ends up confessing whatever. Spain has had an extradition agreement since 1983.

However, there is hope that with the best legal and diplomatic assistance, and even intervention from the Royal House if necessary, what really happened will be clarified. Let us remember that Daniel’s heterosexual condition makes the alleged statement by Daniel Sancho implausible, where he allegedly says that it was all out of jealousy and fear that he would be deceived, according to the police who have signed his statement.

Let us remember that the environment of the Spaniard arrested and accused of murder of a man in Thailand admit that there was a friendship between these the son of the actor and the doctor, but not that they were a couple.

A Colombian newspaper falsely pointed out this Saturday that the victim and Daniel had been in a sentimental relationship for more than a year, a version that is denied by Daniel’s entourage but that would fit with the story that we would be facing a murder that would have started with an attack of jealousy, what the doctor wanted to have sex with him and that Daniel refusedthey argued violently and in a fit of rage he hit him and the victim fell and lost consciousness.

It should be noted that everything that is appearing in the local media and later collected in Colombia and Spain is filtered by the Thai police. But let’s not forget that It was Daniel himself who went to the police station to report the disappearance of his friend, although when the police arrived they had already found the remains of the Colombian. It was then, according to the authorities, when the agents saw injuries on the body of Rodolfo Sancho’s son. It was at that moment that the police questioned him. They then accompanied the suspect to the hotel where they were staying. There they found gloves, knives and a sponge, in which they supposedly found traces of the Colombian’s blood. They also locate in videos recorded by security cameras images of Daniel going to buy an electric saw.
