The case was documented in a Spanish-language HBO documentary. Sancho is the son of prominent Spanish film and television actor Rodolfo Sancho and Silvia Bronchalo, who has crew credits and has reportedly acted as well.

The verdict was handed down in the Koh Samui District Court in a case in which Sancho was accused of murdering Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta Arteaga, dismembering his body and disposing of the body parts. The two men were on holiday on Koh Panang, a nearby island known for its full-moon rave parties.

The court initially sentenced Sancho to death for the “premeditated murder” of Arrieta, but reduced the sentence to life in prison because he had cooperated with the court.
