I am Spanish and the way Spanish TV has treated this case is sickening. They are making Daniel look, up to this day, as a victim and he is NOT. All my condolences go to the Arrieta family.

In my opinion, other than buying murder supplies before the victim arrived in Thailand, the entire act of dismemberment and scattering body parts over an island is totally premeditated. If I organically got into an argument with someone I know and it resulted in a physical altercation, the next logical step would be to remove myself from the situation and stop fighting. If they busted their head, I would've called an ambulance. My instinct would NOT be to stab them and hack them into bits. So, to me it seems like the dude had all of this planned out.

Daniel buying those supplies that he then used in the murder, BEFORE he even met up with Edwin, is damning -- the act was *absolutely* premeditated.

I am from Spain and it's crazy how the media is trying to portray him as a victim. It could be true that he was being threatened and blackmailed? Yes. Is that a valid reason for premeditated murder and cutting a body in 14 pieces? Absolutely not. There's just no way of looking at this in a way where he is the victim. If he had killed him in self defense that would be another thing. But the fact that he bought everything beforehand and cut him in 14 pieces doesn't scream self defense.

Murder is murder, but cutting another human being into 14 pieces and dumping the parts shows a cruelty way beyond what's acceptable. He really doesn't deserve sympathy, the sympathy is reserved for the victim and his family.

I will never understand why people think murder is the answer to their problems. This is horrendous

This case is very similar to one that happened with two fellow Portuguese men, one younger and the other much older, a prominent figure in Portuguese pop culture and the other a model. The model’s name is Renato Seabra and the older man was Carlos Castro. It was a brutal murder in a hotel room in New York

why would he confess and then hire one of the best lawyers..? 🤔

The fact he bought all those murder supplies BEFORE Edwin even arrived seals his guilt of premeditation for me! Why would you need those things on holiday staying in a hotel?? Great video and really interesting case, thank you Adrian!!

I HATE when murderers smear the name of a victim after the person is dead & they can’t defend themselves. To me that’s the ultimate insult to injury. Daniel is a disgusting excuse for a human being & he deserves every bit of that death penalty…or at AT LEAST life behind bars. Honestly, if he gets away with it I could see him doing it again

Your production quality is documentary level, and you always seem to include little mentioned details. Thank you for your consistently excellent perspective. Well done Adrien.!

i love how you actually talk about the island and go in depth about culture and etc

Secret relationships are always a red flag and nothing ever comes from them. If anyone ever finds themselves in a situation where someone wants to keep the relationship a secret, get out before things inevitable go south.

I am Colombian, and we are appalled at Sancho's allegations. This is a premeditated brutal murder and we hope justice will be served and he gets the punishment he deserves.

As a Spaniard, I appreciate your dedication to taking the time to edit, prepare and translate some parts in Spanish to English. Well, talking about the murder, Daniel is a despicable person that deserves the rest of his life under prison. He was never a manager, he was just another 'gigolo' pleasing elder people taking advantage of this young age (29) and handsome body. Probably Edwin encountered something suspicious that forced him to reverse the business/ relationship, but that disagreement is not an excuse to be murdered and dismembered in that way. Now, I hope Thai Government makes justice and give this f**** guy the punishment he deserves.

My heart breaks for Edwin’s family and friends. Daniel is a monster. Thank you for bringing this story to us. Prayers for the family and for the people on the island who had to deal with this 🙏

It was definitely premeditated. Daniel was just a romance scammer. It’s horrific! He planned all along to kill that poor Man that just wanted a relationship. He was fine with being a sugar Daddy. This creep just took advantage. He deserves to be punished. This is sickening.

As a Spaniard I can confirm the coverage of the Spanish press on this case is nothing short of shameful. Most outlets basically are lamenting how bad of a time poor Sancho is having in a Thai prison, as if he hadn't, you know, murdered someone and cut their body into pieces.

Imagine meeting someone online and falling in love, traveling to meet them full of hope only to be killed and dismembered by the one you loved. What an absolute psychopath.

What a truely sad story for Edwin. Worked hard his whole life to become a Dr. specialising in plastic surgery, falls in love with a toxic, unsuccessful, psychopath Gemini, abusing him of his money and then ultimately killing him on the first day they met on an island holiday. Extremely tragic that Edwin crossed paths with such a insidious person.

Daniel is sick to the head and does not deserve any “sympathy” from anyone. And the fact that his family is waving money around to try to dismiss their son’s actions is ludicrous and a real slap to the face of the family of the victim. With all that evidence stacked against him, I hope he gets what is coming

I love how compassionate you are and respectful you are about the victims.

As a Colombian I'm very used to see international crime cases, where if the victim is a Colombian, the media will always try to put all the blame on our nationality. It's heartbreaking and disgusting how the media attack us only for being born in a Country they don't like.

I love the way you tell these stories Adrian... you give a calm to it, whilst not taking anything away from how horrendous these crimes are.. Why do some people honestly belive this behaviour is going to solve their problems... so sad and terrible... thanks again for telling these stories... gives legacy to the victims...

It seems that criminals of privilege and luxury feel fully entitled to command their world with money and 'do you know who I am?' mentallity to excuse truly heinous behaviour.

As a local of SEA. I also understand having natural beauty being destroyed by drunk tourists. The tourism brings some income to the far fetched islands but such a shame that nature has to be trashed in return 😢

Coffeehouse Crime :Your analysis of this crime so far is the best I ever see on the internet ever

You explained this one so well!! One of my favorites!!

Daniel is sick, it is clearly a premeditated murder..My heart goes out to the poor victim’s family 😢

It's always the dismembering of a body that really gets to me. It's just so extreme and for a person to be capable of doing that tells a lot about them... Also Daniel's story makes no sense. He bought the equipment beforehand and who in their right mind would stab and cut someone's throat after you "accidentally" knock them unconcious. Ofc we can't know for sure what their relationship was like, but I don't believe Daniel for a second. I feel like he has always gotten away with things and just thought he could get away with murder too. I hope he is properly punished for what he did.

Thank you for your stellar coverage !

It's pretty hard to overcome a premeditation charge when the tools to carry out the various acts were purchased together and prior to the murder being committed.

It always baffles me when the murderers go to home depot or supermarket and buy rope, chainsaw, a lot of plastic bags, chlorine, tarps, hammers, and the cashier looks at them and just say "meh, seems legit, not my problem.".. I know it's not mandatory to check every customer's stuff but sometimes is just so weird.

Love the geographical and cultural info that comes with an episode of CoffeeHouse Crime. I feel like it helps me understand the full story of the crime therein. This is one of my favorite channels and you've gotten me through many hours of boring office work. Thank you, and give you cat a treat on me!

As always, your videos are top notch. I appreciate so much, the hard work you put into them. Thank you! RIP Edwin, may justice be swift.

Thank you for your excellent coverage of cases, Adrian. Well done 🎉

Yeah buying a saw would be my first purchase when on vacation in Thailand!! Bullsh*t!!! It screams premeditated! Thank you once again Adrian for another amazing video! Love love LOVE your voice and your sympathy for the victims! ❤❤❤

Adrian keep doing what you're doing. Your videos are enlightening but also never try to fetishize or over dramatize the real things that can happen to any of us. Especially with the focus on the victims rather than the killers themselves.

What an horrific case in such an idyllic setting, it looks likes a beautiful part of the world. Imagine the absolute horror of finding those body parts! It’s awful. The poor man, I just don’t know how anyone could do that to a person, especially having been so intimate with them. It beggars belief it really does. Obviously Daniel has lived a very privileged and entitled life and thinks he can do whatever he wants. What a horrible, narcissistic, evil man! It’s just terrible, all so his girlfriend wouldn’t find out his secret, if that’s really all it was about. God Bless Edwin.

Regardless of whether or not Mr. Arrieta threatened to expose their relationship or some kind of blackmail, he did not deserve to be killed in such a horrific way. I highly doubt he even threatened Daniel. I’m incline to think Dr. Arrieta went there thinking he was going to have a wonderful time with Daniel. He probably wanted to help him get started on his chef business or channel or whatever it was that he was seeking and Daniel used him for whatever he could get from him and I’m guessing that Dr. Arrieta finally told Daniel that he was done financing everything for him at which point Daniel knew the funds had run out so, in order to keep face with his family and lifestyle he decided to kill Dr. Arrieta to cover up his relationship. Since he bought the saw and other things the day BEFORE, its clear to me it was premeditated. Why would he arrive one day earlier? I hope there is true justice for Dr Arrieta and my condolences to his family and friends. He was an asset to this world and a well meaning person from the look of it. May he rest in peace in the light of our Lord Jesus.

This Daniel almost had everything good in life and yet was able to ruin his own life. Mindblowing! RIP Doc.Edwin.

I love the way you cover cases. You stay serious and occasionally have funny personal commentary. But you are super respectful and kind of the victims

Absolutely love this channel! And, just a side note, that shirt matches your eyes perfectly! Keep it up!

Another outstanding episode.... Wonderful work!!!!

You do not dismember someone if you are the victim. That's outrageous. If he walks or they go easy on him it's because of money, and that's wrong.

Thank you so much Adrian for covering this story! I am Colombian and in my country this whole case hit hard! May recommend you do some case from my country? The Colmenares case is a mistery and happened during Halloween night. It would be great to hear it narrated by you.

Poor Edwin, he just wanted love and thought he found it with an angel faced devil. Hope, Daniel meets his end in Thailand. Love and condolences to Edwin's family, and love and support to the Prosecutor and the Thai Authorities. 💝💖💝💖

This was great and informative as a person who’s never heard of this case you put in the details needed and to the point ❤❤❤thanks

I’m a Thai, I love how Adrian addressed the chief of police Big Joke. To elaborate, “Big” here have some meaning like “Boss” or “Chief” and Joke is his nickname. Condolences to Edwin’s family

I would love to see you do a video on the actor Ricardo Medina Jr, the former Power Rangers actor who "accidentally" stabbed his roommate to death with a Japanese sword. I've seen small videos on this here and there, but never a full deep dive and would love to know the entire story from what incited the incident, to how he got away with it at first, to how it was decided to actually try him for manslaughter.

Great video! Thanks! 😊

When it comes about My Crime channels I am very very demanding, and this one is really one of the best findings ever !!! .... The intro about Thailand was very nice. Good job

My boyfriend talked about this case just a week or so before you uploaded this. It was an uproar in the Spanish-speaking community, and my boyfriend is Colombian so it hit especially hard.

Hi Adrian! Don't think I ever caught a video as soon as it came out lmao. Thanks for your hard work! Love the exploration and appreciation of the country the cases take place in before you tell us about the case. I love how you focus on remembering the victims of the case rather than focus completely on the criminal. You're my go to True Crime youtuber for a nicely structured documentary. Keep doing what you're doing!

You have become my new favorite content creator! Great job. Love from NH, USA

Excellent job in reporting this horrible case. All very sad…..

Thank you for being inclusive and covering a wide range of cases and people, respectfully. ❤

A small correction, if I may: Daniel's parents are not Silvia and Rodolfo Bronchalo, her name is Silvia Bronchalo, his is Rodolfo Sancho. In Spain, women do not change their names after marrying and the children gets both their parents surnames, normally, the first of the father and then the first of the mother. Daniel Sancho (father) Bronchalo (mother) in this case😉

Im​ thai​ and​ been following​ this​case​ from​ day​ one.​ Thanks​ for​ an​ update.

Please cover the Thabo Bester case in South Africa. It is extremely shocking!! From bodies being stolen to fake a convicted murderers death so he can escape from prison to a famous Dr/influencer helping him out while abandoning her husband and children.

Your channel has the Agatha Christie vibe- crime and criminals portrayed in a quiet subdued understated manner without resorting to exaggeration and loudness. Your narration is perfect, the cadence and the register. Thank you for your wonderful work. 💐

Thanks for sharing

Love it Andrew thank you for sharing

This is so disgusting...like many have stated, there is something that makes murder so much more disturbing when it involves dismemberment of a human being. I mean, how do you do that to someone and carry on as if nothing happened? So evil and disturbing. My condolences to everyone affected by Edwin's passing, truly a devastating event for them to have to live with.

I love seeing this channel grow. It has to be the most respectful true crime channel on this platform and the variety of cases never ceases to amaze. I can’t wait to see what’s next! Keep it up Adrian!

You covered this well - I was (am) on the island. Thanks for your videos, Coffeehouse. You cover the cases well and with heart.

He wanted the money without giving the s*x, & hated himself & his lover for the dynamic & r/ship he had. Was ashamed. & uncomfortable with his sexuality.. Took out his rage on him & killed him.

I’m glad you covered this case. Those who covered this story weren’t very respectful

I went to the New Years Full-Moon party almost 10 years ago. There was over 200,000 people on that tiny island. I had a good time, but it was a lot. I felt bad for the business owners and the locals because it was obvious that most tourists were in their early 20s and not opposed to completely trashing the place in the name of, "having fun." Garbage, vomit, fights, drugs, and fried chicken everywhere lol.

As,sas as the videos/stories are I LOVE your channel your voice is so relaxing I could listen to you for hours 😊Thank YOU for keeping us all timed in ❤

Loved this case Adrian, great choice- it was my first time hearing of this one. I always wonder when these murderers go to these places to buy the supplies to cover up what they've done, aren't they aware that said places have cameras and will see them or is it that they don't care really? This case just goes to show how spoiled brats such as Daniel don't value people's lives because they think their money will buy out the situation. I do hope justice will be served because dismembering the victim's body like that was definitely overkill. And then his family is just as bad for not seeing the wrong in his actions- they are just as delusional

I would say your channel Adrian is one of the few channels ive seen that present these cases respectfully and you show compassion with the people who have been hit by these tragedies. Many channels feels like they just milk the content and dont actually care. Keep up the good work Adrian!

I live in Thailand for a few years now and work in the tourism industry and you would be surprised how many tourists sometimes dont know that the fullmoon party is at well.. the full moon. Great video as always, your care about the victims in admiring my condolences to the victims family and hope he (Daniel) gets what he deserves in the Thai prisons and justice system..

Gracias Adrian por cubrir este caso. 🙏🏻

Love your channel!

Adrian’s pronunciation of Koh Pangan is spot on! (I’m Thai). First time I heard foreigner pronounced the “ng” sound correctly, most time I heard Koh Pan-gan. Been following your channel for quite awhile, thank you so much for your effort into each video.

He planned it. He was afraid his secret would get out. I feel so sorry for the guy that was murdered your right he didn’t deserve that. Love your channel!

Your production and telling the stories are very professional I give you 10000 stars ⭐️

This was so shocking!! I follow many true crime stories but this one passed me by. I'm eager to hear the follow up.

I just feel so sad for the victim’s family and friends. Murder is horrible enough but having the body so cruelly desecrated has got to be next to impossible to cope with.

I don't think "trouble in paradise" has ever been more apt. thanks for your stories rockstar Adrian I love the way you tell them ! please don't ever change.

Thank you so much for covering this case! Spanish media bombarded us with it all over the summer, and somehow victimizing Daniel Sancho as to having committed the crime out of desperation due to blackmail. The fact that he did it in Thailand puts him under a much more difficult situation had he done it in Spain. It’s been reported that the first thing they did was to save his hair off when in prison

I work in a prosecution office of my country and I've read about this case while on break. Even from the start I felt like it was premeditated and not even close to spontaneous. I don't know about others, but I don't think anyone who murders another would think of cutting up the body to hide the evidence. Especially next to the ocean. People would rather dump the body into the waters and hope they won't be found. That's mostly experience from reading so many murder cases. Hopefully Daniel will get what he deserves for his cruelty towards another human being. What a piece of trash.

Whoa 15 seconds ago! Good morning to all, hope youre enjoying a coffee with me! 😊☕️❤ Thanks Rockstar Adrian!

Thank you so much for your empathy to the victims and not making a show out of it. Greetings from Greece 💙

I just love your channel Adrian!❤

So hang on a second, was this relationship entirely online? Until Thailand? This whole story is nuts

Thanks for another great video! I hadn't heard of this case, and I am stunned to say the least. "Well he wouldn't wake up so I decided to make sure he was dead then cut him up into little pieces and throw them away" like WHAT. Even assuming there is some truth to what he said about not wanting to have a sexual relationship and feeling cornered, that's DRASTIC and INSANE

I really love the introduction you give to the locations where the crime happened. It makes your videos even more interesting.

I'm from spain and you are my most favorite podcast/channel ever so i was wondering if you would cover this case ❤

shocking , well presented thanks adrian

The earliest I've ever been to a video. Thanks for all the hard work you out into covering these videos and the respect you give to the victims. The story of Karen Buckley is still one of the most chilling stories I've heard you cover mainly because I was in the same university as Karen when her life was tragically cut short. Even though I know the story, you still managed to find new information that wasn't covered by mainstream media. Keep up the great work.

What is really difficult to wrap my brain around is what is going through someone’s mind as they tear apart and destroy the body of their victims. 🤯 Like the Chandler kid. WTF!

Another excellent summary by @Coffeehouse Crime.

Look at you Adrian!!! For some reason I haven't been tuning in as often as I used to. I think it was because there are SO MANY true crime channels. When I clicked on one of your stories I was back!!! You have come a long way, Adrian and I'm happy to see it. Almost two M subs is impressive for sure. I haven't even seen this vid so I'm gonna go do that right now.

You always give the victims so much respect and focus in your videos, so thank you. I love your channel and can’t wait for the next video!

This is the only true crime channel I truly enjoy watching without feeling any weird vibes from the host. Thank you so much for the amazing quality you are putting out!

*BS! Daniel didn't have to meet this guy in person to break up...he said he wasn't even involved in a relationship! How do you break up with a person you aren't even involved with?* He met him there for one purpose only and that was to murder him. My guess would be the same as the police...he did it to expunge any and all evidence of the relationship.

thank you

You did an amazing job narrating this horrible and unfortunate event.
