The actor Rodolfo Sancho has asked this Sunday for the “maximum respect” for his son, Daniel Sancho, arrested in Thailand for a murder for which he has pleaded guilty, and for the whole family, “in these delicate moments and maximum confusion.”
In a brief statement sent to EFE, the actor and the young man’s family beg “the media to refrain from issuing any hasty judgment” in light of the latest events.
They also ask that information not be released “that could interfere in the development of Justice and in the correct procedure of the investigation, as well as any diplomatic action that could be in progress.”
Daniel Sancho Bronchalo, 29, has been in police custody since Friday and pleaded guilty the following day to the murder and dismemberment of his Colombian friend Edwin Arrieta Arteaga and was arrested, although no formal charges have yet been filed against him.
The young man acknowledged this Sunday in statements to EFE that he is guilty of the murder of Arrieta and assured that he did it because he felt like his hostage.
“I’m guilty, but I was Edwin’s hostage. He held me hostage. It was a glass cage, but it was a cage. He made me destroy my relationship with my girlfriend, he forced me to do things I would never have done,” he said. Sancho during a conversation in front of his Thai public defenders and several officers at the Koh Phangan police station, where he is being held.
Daniel Sancho, who will go to court on the neighboring island of Koh Samui on Monday, said he believed his father is already on his way to Thailand and would arrive in Samui on Monday or Tuesday.
