Thai court sentences son of Spanish TV star Rodolfo Sancho to life in prison for murder

The son of a well-known actor has been found guilty of murdering a plastic surgeon at a Thai holiday resort. The incident occurred last year on Koh Phangan, an island off the coast of southern Thailand. The son, a chef who made YouTube videos, was sentenced to life in prison. The court heard that the two had a fight before the son killed the surgeon. The son then dismembered the body and disposed of the parts around the island. The court found him guilty of premeditated murder, concealment of a body, and hiding another person’s documents. The son claimed self-defense but evidence suggested the killing was premeditated. The son’s parents, who are also actors, attended the court hearing. The son has the right to appeal the verdict.
