The trial of Sancho, son of the Spanish actor Rodolfo Sancho, has been one of the most publicized legal proceedings of the past year, despite the events having occurred 6,200 miles from Madrid and being investigated and tried under Thai law.
Whether Sancho, a Spanish national, is sentenced to death – a punishment that the country's judicial authorities usually reduce or do not carry out – or the extension of a possible prison sentence depends on whether the court rules that the events were premeditated.
The defendant, 29, and Arrieta, 44, had agreed to meet on August 2, 2023 on Koh Pha-ngan, a popular tourist island known for hosting the full moon party.
On August 3, he reported that his friend had disappeared and Sancho was formally arrested two days later.
