Nepo Baby YouTube Chef Jailed for Life for Horrific Murder
A Spanish chef and YouTuber was sentenced to life in prison Thursday for murdering and dismembering a Colombian man on the island of Ko Pha-ngan in southeast Thailand.
Daniel Sancho Bronchalo, the 30-year-old son of a distinguished acting family, confessed to dismembering his victim’s body and dumping the parts on land and at sea, but said he only ever acted in self-defense against 44-year-old Edwin Arrieta Arteaga, a plastic surgeon. He pleaded guilty to the murder last August but denied that it was premeditated.
A Thai court disagreed, finding him guilty of found guilty of premeditated murder, as well as concealing a corpse and destruction of property. He was also ordered to pay the victim’s family $125,000 in compensation.
