The murder and dismemberment of Edwin Arrieta at the hands, allegedly, of Daniel Sancho has gone around the world, and has been in the media spotlight since day one. Almost a month and a half after the crime, Rodolfo Sancho’s son remains in Koh Samui prison awaiting trial.
Although the Thai police are clear that they will seek the death penalty for the accused, his sentence may be reduced to life imprisonment if he cooperates with justice. Meanwhile, he is receiving visits from his mother, Silvia Bronchalo, almost daily. In the same way that his father did when he traveled to the Asian country.
Although the pain that Edwin Arrieta’s family feels is unimaginable, Daniel Sancho’s mother is not having a good time either after discovering what her son has allegedly done. “No one expects something like this, no one is prepared to receive news like this. No one prepares us for this,” she said on the second day of her prison visit.
Silvia Bronchalo has had to leave her life in Spain to move indefinitely to Thailand. With this, she wants to have her son close to her and be able to visit him whenever she can. A radical change that she has had to accept over the days.
And although these are still hard times for her, the accused’s mother is appearing less tense than in her first weeks. The media pressure was increased with the arrival of her ex, Rodolfo Sancho, to Thailand. However, now it seems that the waters have calmed down.
During her visits, Silvia Bronchalo not only sees her son, but is responsible for delivering personal items to him daily. From day one she has not hesitated to send him the maximum daily amount of money that they are allowed to receive. Furthermore, on some occasions she has wanted to bring books or other objects to make her son’s stay in prison more pleasant.
Another reason for happiness for Silvia Bronchalo has been the approval of her power of attorney by the Thai judge. “The head of the Samui provincial court has finally accepted the power of attorney that Silvia requested. It will serve her solely and exclusively to access police documentation on her son’s case and obtain copies of it,” said a reporter. in Afternoon.
For his part, Daniel Sancho only has to wait for the judge’s decision to arrive. Artur Segarra, a man who dismembered another Spaniard in 2016, and who is in a prison in Thailand, wanted to send him some advice: “It all depends on the cash you have to pay the prosecutor’s office, judges and police.”
