Rodolfo Sancho speaks for the first time: "I am firm and calm"

These are not being easy days for the actor Rodolfo Sancho. His son Daniel is in provisional prison in Thailand after having confessed to the murder and dismemberment of Edwin Arrieta Arteaga, a Colombian surgeon with whom he was on vacation on an island in the Asian country. After the great commotion generated around this case, the actor has broken his silence and, after several statements sent to the media, he has now gone one step further and has contacted Espejo Público, where he has revealed how he is doing.

The first statements by the actor from El ministerio del tiempo and Mar de plástico on television came this Friday morning. Antena 3 and its Espejo Público have spoken with him exclusively. The space reporter, Álex González, has been in charge of speaking with him by phone. "A very brief call in which he was very clear," said the journalist. "At the moment I am firm and calm. I will contact you and I appreciate your love. And thank you very much for your understanding," said the actor to the aforementioned program.

This is not the first public 'movement' by Rodolfo Sancho. After the news came to light last Saturday, the actor issued a statement shared by Europa Press in which he asked for "maximum respect" for his son and the rest of the family at these "so delicate" moments for all of them. "I beg the media to refrain from issuing any hasty judgment in the face of the latest events," he said then. On the other hand, this Thursday the family sent a note expressing their regret. "We are very sorry for Edwin's death and we accompany his family in sentiment," they said in a letter sent to the EFE agency.

"We appreciate the interest of the press, but we cannot make statements at this time so as not to interfere in the investigation and to respect the very painful moment that both families are experiencing in this terrible situation that we have had to live through," the message concludes, which It was sent by Fernando Oca, director of the law firm that represents Sancho. It is being a difficult moment for the family, who does not understand what could have happened for Daniel to commit this crime.

Daniel Sancho's family does not understand what could have happened and is going through a hard time, in the same way that Edwin Arrieta's family is also suffering. That is why this week, the actor has contacted Darling, the victim's sister, to apologize. "Hello Darling. How are you? I'm Rodolfo Sancho, Daniel Sancho's father. I'm very sorry for what happened to your brother," she began by saying.

"I think he must have had a disorder. Sorry, we are two destroyed families, I'm sorry. I don't know what could have gone through Daniel's head. Sorry, we are very confused with all this that is happening," he expressed. Without a doubt, these are difficult moments.
