BANGKOK, Aug 08 (BBC): Renowned Spanish actor Rodolfo Sancho Aguirre's son has been charged with murder for killing and dismembering a man in Thailand. Daniel Sancho Bronchalo, 29, pleaded guilty to the murder of Edwin Arrieta Arteaga, 44, in a Thai court on Monday.
Police discovered parts of Arrieta's body at a landfill in the southern island of Koh Phangan last week. Mr Sancho told Spanish news agency EFE he had been a "hostage"to Arrieta, who was obsessed with him.
The YouTube chef went to a Koh Phangan police station last Thursday to report that Arrieta, a Colombian surgeon, was missing, local media reported. Koh Phangan is a popular beach destination known for its raucous 'full moon' parties.
