Popular Post webfact Posted April 9 Popular Post Share Posted April 9 File photo : Chef Daniel Sancho Bronchalo//AP Koh Samui – The murder trial of a famous Spanish actor’s son opened Tuesday on a popular Thai tourist island, where he will face charges of killing another foreigner. Chef Daniel Sancho Bronchalo, 29, pleaded not guilty at a hearing in November to the murder of 44-year-old Colombian plastic surgeon Edwin Arrieta Arteaga on the nearby Koh Pha Ngan island. The trial opened Tuesday on the honeymoon isle of Koh Samui, with scores of Spanish reporters flying in — despite being barred from the tiny courtroom. Sancho’s father, well-known Spanish actor Rodolfo Sancho, arrived at court shortly after 8:30 am (0130 GMT). “He is fine,” he said, declining to answer any further questions. Lawyer Juan Gonzalo Ospina Serrano, representing Arrieta’s family, said outside court ahead of the trial they hoped that “Thai law will be forceful, that the truth can be told”. “We hope that the family can close this painful stage of their life and that they can begin their mourning,” he said.

I think poorly worded report. The Spanish lawyer is in Thailand representing the victim of the murder and looking after the interests of the victims family. The victim was Colombian, a Spanish-speaking nation. No doubt he will be able to make representations to the court as to the damage this has done to the family of the victim and report back to them what is taking place in court. He won't be taking part in the trial proceedings. So, in effect, he could be there to offer impact statements. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is obviously not representing the victims family in court, he's just their lawyer, speaking on their behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The victim (or his family) doesn't need a lawyer in court, it's the defendant who's on trial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post swerve Posted April 9 Popular Post Share Posted April 9 Bronchalo claims he didn't kill the man. However, he can't explain why he was seen scattering the dead guy's parts in different places on the island. This guy is creepy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouse123 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 From all I and everybody who read and followed the proceedings and ridiculous amounts of evidence produced, including buying the boat he used to dispose of some body parts, there is no way in a million years he can walk away with this as a not guilty. It makes me wonder what kind of advice and representation he is receiving. It is a strange affair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have just been conned into a waste of money, to be honest. Nothing a Thai law firm can do, it's all in the hands of the prosecutor now.
