Daniel Sancho’s mother says she has cut contact and rejects a Netflix series
Silvia Bronchalo, mother of Daniel Sancho, spoke about the case on Spanish TV and described the emotional toll it has taken on her.
She said a phone call in which her son asked her to arrange money for bail left her feeling manipulated and deeply hurt.
Bronchalo said she believed provisional release was legally impossible in Thailand, and she has not spoken with Sancho since April.
She said Sancho will not apologise because he fears it could be seen as admitting premeditation, though she would have advised him to apologise to Edwin Arrieta’s family.
Bronchalo said she thinks each day about Arrieta’s mother and that her grief cannot compare with the victim’s family’s loss.
She also criticised the legal team and Rodolfo Sancho’s public appearances, and said a planned Netflix series would be painful and frightening for the Arrieta family.
Silvia Bronchalo said she stopped communicating with her son, Daniel Sancho, in April.
She said a dispute over a call about money for a proposed bail request left her feeling manipulated and hurt.
Bronchalo said she rejects a planned Netflix series, calling it painful and frightening, especially for Edwin Arrieta’s family.
She said Sancho refuses to apologize because he fears it could be taken as acceptance of premeditation.
Bronchalo expressed respect for Arrieta’s family and said her own pain cannot compare with that of his mother.

It hurts me. There are things I don’t want to hear and can’t hear... I feel he doesn’t love me and it is very hard.
It is very painful and frightening, especially for the Arrieta family; nobody takes that into account.
