Silvia Bronchalo's first words after visiting her son Daniel Sancho in prison

Silvia Bronchalo, mother of Daniel Sancho, in provisional prison for the murder and dismemberment of Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta, went this Friday for the second day to visit her son at the Koh Samui prison, in southern Thailand, accompanied by personnel from the Spanish Embassy in the country.

Bronchalo arrived at the prison in a similar way the day before, by taxi and accompanied by Spanish diplomatic personnel in Thailand. Upon leaving, she wanted to make her first statements to the media gathered at the gates of the prison.

After thanking the Spanish journalists interested in the case of her son Daniel Sancho, accused of the premeditated murder of surgeon Edwin Arrieta, Silvia Bronchalo wanted to make her first public statements since the news broke.

First, he wanted to value the "empathy" that the press had the day before he arrived at the Koh Samui prison to see his son for the first time. “It has been very difficult for me,” she assured. Next, she went on to communicate the state of health of his son: "Daniel is much better, he is calm, they are treating him very well, and waiting for him to resolve himself."

Likewise, Bronchalo wanted to make it clear, in reference to the crime allegedly perpetrated by his son, that “no one expects such a thing, no one is prepared to receive such news. No one prepares us for this."

"Has Daniel been moved to see you?" The reporter from The Summer Program asked him. "Yeah, sure, like me too," he answered clearly. This meeting, the second, takes place again through glass, without touching and by telephone, and, on this occasion and on successive days, for only twenty minutes.

Silvia Bronchalo, both at the entrance and at the exit, was accompanied at all times by Vicente Cacho, business manager of the Spanish Embassy in Thailand, who in other statements to the media present indicated that vis a vis visits, "to day today in this prison it is not possible”.
