The case of Daniel Sancho has become one of the most current media issues this summer. Rodolfo Sancho's son confessed to having murdered and dismembered the corpse of the famous Colombian surgeon Edwin Arriera on the Thai island of Ko Pha Ngan.
The alleged murderer has been in provisional detention in the Koh Samui prison since August 7 awaiting trial. The Thai police already reported a few days ago that they were going to charge Sancho with premeditated murder, after all the evidence pointed to the fact that the Spanish chef acted alone and planned the murder days before.
But the case has taken a new turn again this Monday, when the results of the autopsy performed on the body of Edwin Arrieta have been revealed. These new details have shed light on the case and have revealed how the surgeon's death occurred.
''First they quarreled, according to evidence at the (crime) scene. Daniel punched him, then the doctor (Arrieta) fell and hit his head on the sink, but he did not die at that moment, but when (Sancho) began to cut his throat, according to forensics," explained Surachate Hakparn, number two of the Thai Police to the EFE agency.
With this new information, the Telecinco program Así es la vida has once again discussed the case of Daniel Sancho with several professionals in the criminal field on the set. But the Mediaset space has not only given the last hour of the crime, it has also wanted to address one of the issues that has surprised the most in recent hours. And it is that Daniel Sancho would have followers on social networks who would be asking for his freedom for the simple fact of being 'handsome'.
The forensic psychologist Ana Isabel Gutiérrez has explained live that there are two things related to this issue. The first of these is called the 'halo effect', which consists of not believing that someone who has certain qualities or an image can commit actions classified as bad. "But another thing is the attractiveness that it arouses in third parties called hybristophilia," declared the psychologist.
"It is when there is a desire to maintain relationships with people who have committed crimes or crimes," he said. And it is that open campaigns are already circulating on social networks with the aim of obtaining the extradition and pardon for Daniel Sancho.
The psychologist has explained live several theories that would explain the reason for this behavior. ''There are four theories. The first has to do with the self-concept of 'I'm going to change him'. The next explanation has to do with sensation seekers. The feeling of saying I am with someone who has been capable of killing,'' she explained.
''The explanation related to becoming famous is also given. And then there is a fourth explanation, which has never convinced me that according to some say that he would be the perfect boyfriend since he is in jail, they know what he does at all times,'' he declared. ''I think it's more that love of risk in some personality traits,'' he explained.
