The Koh Samui Provincial Court initially sentenced Daniel Sancho to death but commuted it to life imprisonment due to his trial cooperation, reflecting Thai judicial leniency.
Sancho, a chef and part of a notable Spanish acting family, claimed self-defense after a confrontation with the victim, Edwin Arrieta, during a vacation in Thailand.
The court ordered Sancho to pay over 4.2 million baht in compensation to Arrieta's family, though they sought a significantly higher amount.
Rodolfo Sancho Aguirre, the convicted man's father, expressed determination to continue fighting for his son following the harsh verdict handed down by the court.
