A 29 year old Spanish man has been officially charged with murdering and dismembering his Colombian partner on Koh Pha Ngan in August of this year. Daniel Bronchalo, who is a famous chef in his home country, was charged at Koh Samui Provincial Court yesterday, October 25.

 

Public prosecutors assert that Bronchalo murdered Edwin Arteaga, a 44 year old plastic surgeon from Colombia, and then dismembered his body in an attempt to conceal the crime. It’s understood both men had been in a relationship. The court accepted the charges and has summoned Bronchalo to a statement hearing today.

 

The murder was uncovered when body parts were found at a landfill site on the island on August 3. The next day, Bronchalo was arrested, subsequently admitting to the murder.

Can someone please explain to me .....

WHY do all handcuffed criminals have some covering over their handcuffs ?

 

Are we all that stupid that we assume they have cold hands and need mittens ?

Do you REALLY need this 'splained to you? Simple: Looks better in photos - more normal and less like an actual criminal. You know, doing the "perp walk" with or without cuffs?

Still doesn't fool anyone that he's cuffed. When I was in the British Army, another guy and I had to escort a prisoner who'd gone AWOL from Anglesey to Catterick. We weren't allowed to cuff the guy (a big Irishman) so it was a long stressful train journey for us in case he tried to do a runner. Fortunately, he was as good as gold.

Horrifying crime ... nobody knows the personal circumstances that led up to this murder.

 

 

I read in the Spanish news that he was in a homosexual relationship with the guy he murdered but was actually heterosexual and just in it for the money. When the "chef" got bored and tried to get out of the relationship the doctor blackmailed him and threatened to tell his family if he did not stay. So instead of just saying "I don't care, tell them" he decided murder was the answer. Too bad for both of them that they could not sort out their little differences like gentlemen.

I had one Spanish chef 30 years ago on Samui poison the hell out of me with his gazpacho.

I've heard them called many names but it serves you right for putting his 'gazpacho' in your mouth 😁

Premeditated murder? At least in English law to be murder it must be premeditated ie an intention to kill. If it isn't premeditated it's manslaughter not murder. But this is Thailand so may be all killings here, though not the intended result, are murder? Accidental? Reckless?
