Last Thursday, Daniel Sancho served a month in provisional prison on the Thai island of Koh Samui, where he is awaiting trial for the murder and subsequent dismemberment of the Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta, while the Police finalize their investigation. Sancho, 29, was imprisoned after being arrested for the murder, which he himself confessed to the police.
According to information, Rodolfo Sancho's son is in an area of the prison where another Spaniard and several foreign prisoners are, with whom he often speaks. From what is known about his life prior to the atrocious crime, Sancho has surrounded himself with very select friends, with whom he has shared nights out in the most exclusive places in cities like Madrid or Ibiza. For example, they already know his close friendship with Froilán de Marichalar and now, his curious connection with the Onieva family.
The confessed murderer of Edwin Arrieta used to go out in the most exclusive areas of Madrid, where he coincided with members of the big families of society who reside in the capital. For example, Jaime Onieva, the little brother of the now Marquis of Griñón, with whom he had a close friendship.
Both would have met in one of the many places and parties that they frequented with other members of this Madrid jet-set in the fashionable nightclubs, and it was common to see them together sharing moments on the night of partying in the capital in any of the booths of these fashionable establishments - as reported by Vanitatis, mainly in the area framed between the streets of Recoletos and Serrano. Also to his future victim, Edwin Arrieta, who accompanied Daniel Sancho on his visits to the capital when they maintained their relationship.
Onieva was also in Sancho's group of friends who traveled to Ibiza or the Costa del Sol for days of endless partying and luxury. Furthermore, according to the aforementioned portal, Sancho would have had the opportunity to meet the older brothers of Tamara Falcó's brother-in-law, Íñigo and Alejandro Onieva.
Jaime Onieva, however, was not the one who turned to Daniel Sancho as soon as he committed the crime, but to Froilán, son of Infanta Elena and Jaime de Marichalar. Both followed each other on social networks and had contact, but the grandson of the king emeritus would have blocked Sancho as soon as the news of the crime came out, so any request for help that Rodolfo Sancho's son is said to have made never reached him.
He also had a close friendship with in Madrid thanks to his public relations work, the brothers Jaime and Mateo Conde. The first leads the Istar group, made up of three of the places most frequented by Sancho and some of the most select characters in Spanish society.
Sancho, who spent a ten-day isolation period due to covid-19 after entering prison, has received almost daily visits from his mother, Silvia Bronchalo, and his father, the actor Rodolfo Sancho, who traveled to Thailand last week . The young man is currently in the infirmary area due to a herniated disc, according to the prison. During this month, he has dedicated a lot of time to reading and practicing Muay Thai (Thai boxing).
The young man, who like the rest of the provisional prisoners has the right to a daily visit from family and friends authorized by him, in addition to three videoconference calls per month, will remain in this prison at least until the trial is held. in the Samui Court, scheduled for the end of this year, although it depends on how long the police investigation and the Prosecutor's report extend.
Sancho and Arrieta met last year through social networks. Both had met on the island of Koh Phangan, known for its festivals, on August 2. That same day, the surgeon was murdered and dismembered, and his remains were found in various locations on the island, including the sea.
