Spanish actor's son jailed for life for grisly Thai island murder

On Thursday, a Thai court jailed a famous Spanish actor's son for life for the murder of a Colombian plastic surgeon on a tropical holiday island, in a lurid case that has gripped Spain.

Daniel Sancho Bronchalo was found guilty of the premeditated murder of Arrieta on the tourist island of Koh Phangan last year. The court said Sancho had been given a life sentence and ordered to pay 4.4 million baht to Arrieta's family. Spanish lawyer representing the Sancho family said they would launch an appeal.
