LOC Xenia Tostado, Rodolfo Sancho's partner, breaks her silence after the crime in Thailand of the actor's son: "No one has an idea of ??the deep pain he is going through as a father"

The family of actor Rodrigo Sancho has lived for a week in worry, fear and pain. The confession by Daniel, his 29-year-old son, of the murder and dismemberment of a friend in Thailand has placed them in the media spotlight in a murky and extremely harsh matter.

The interpreter’s partner, Xenia Tostado, has broken the silence of these days today with a statement issued to the Europa Press agency through their lawyers, the Balfagón-Chipirrás Criminological-Legal Office in which they express the pain with which they are facing this situation and asks for respect for her privacy, especially for her youngest daughter.

The Spanish actress began her relationship with Rodolfo Sancho in 2005 and it was in 2014 when they became parents of little Jimena.

“I have been feeling the need for days to express my concern and the fear that I feel as a mother. We do not know if we are safe. My daughter lives completely outside of everything that is happening and that is how it will be as long as we can and they allow us to,” she says, showing in the note his unconditional support for the actor in these difficult moments. “I am next to my partner, Rodolfo Sancho, in this deep pain that he is going through as a father, nobody has an idea.”

Xenia Tostado asks the press to keep her family “on the sidelines” and affirms that they will protect her daughter “above all else”: “She is our priority. My daughter is just a girl.” The actress concludes the note by thanking “from the bottom of my heart for all the support and love” that comes to them.

The family of Daniel Sancho, grandson of fellow actor Félix Ángel Sancho Gracia -known by his two last names-, pleaded in a previous statement “that the media refrain from issuing any hasty judgment.”

“We appreciate the interest of the press, but we cannot make statements at this time so as not to interfere in the investigation and to respect the painful moment that both families are experiencing in this terrible situation that we have had to live,” reads the brief statement.

The Spanish Daniel Sancho, in provisional prison since Monday for the murder of the Colombian Edwin Arrieta in Thailand, confessed on August 5 to the crime committed on the island of Phangan and has actively collaborated in the reconstruction of the events, something that could speed up the process and bring forward the start date of the trial. Sancho and Arrieta, who met last year through Instagram, had met in Phangan on August 2, the day the surgeon was murdered and dismembered, whose remains have been found in various locations, including the sea.

The police investigation against the Spaniard enters a week in which the police can finish gathering key evidence and in which senior officials from Bangkok are expected to travel to the island of Phangan to follow the development of the case.

The agents, who have up to 84 days to complete the investigation from their entry into the prison on the island of Samui, try to get “all possible evidence” although they assure that the investigations are very advanced, in part, thanks to the collaboration of Sancho.
