After killing and dismembering a gentleman last year on the island of Koh Phangan in southern Thailand, the brother of a well-known Spanish actor was imprisoned for life.

Daniel Sancho Bronchalo, the son of television star Rodolfo Sancho Aguirre, claimed he killed Colombian plastic surgeon Edwin Arrieta Arteaga in self-defence. He pleaded guilty to the murder in August 2023.

At the time, Sancho, then 30, told Spanish news organization EFE he had been a “hostage” to Arrieta, who he said was obsessed with him.

Numerous Spanish investigators flew to Thailand for the trial in order to capture the circumstance, which has piqued a great deal of interest in the case.

Sancho was found guilty of deliberate crime, concealing a body, and destruction of property.

Initial sentences for death were immediately commuted to life in prison, but the case was heard by a court on the nearby island Koh Samui, where the sentence was commuted to life in prison.

Sancho, a chef who has his own YouTube channel, was also ordered to pay 4 million baht ($118,000; £89,000) in damages to Arrieta’s family.

Bussakorn Kaewleeled, a prosecutor for the victim’s home, said they were satisfied with the outcome.

” The plaintiff is satisfied with the sentence because he ( Sancho ) will be put in prison for life and they ( the plaintiff ) receive some financial compensation”, Bussakorn told reporters outside the court on the island of Koh Samui, AFP news agency reported.

In earlier August of last year, officers in Koh Phangan discovered Arrieta’s system at a waste.

Around the same time, Sancho went to the police to document that Arrieta, next 44, was missing.

Sancho admitted to killing Arrieta upon more doubting.

According to a report from Thai internet last year, Sancho was able to come to terms with the murder’s deliberate motive after investigations had revealed that he had purchased, among other things, a razor, rubber boots, and a bottle of cleaning agent.

Eventually, Sancho led authorities to seven locations around the area where he dumped Arrieta’s dismembered figure in plastic bags.

According to reports, Sancho and Arrieta had agreed to meet after getting to know one another online.

Sancho allegedly acted in self-defense after Arrieta attempted to coerce him into having gender, according to the defense. In a statement released by the Spanish paper El Mundo, Sancho claimed that the plastic doctor” tried to rape]him.”

Sancho hails from a community of stars. His father, the late actor Félix ngel Sancho Gracia, and his mother, Silvia Bronchalo, is a performer.

Afghanistan’s Taliban government has banned mixed martial arts ( MMA ), saying it is incompatibile with Islamic law.

An established from the Taliban’s activities expert, speaking to local journalist TOLOnews on Tuesday, said that MMA was very violent and posed a risk of death.

The Taliban’s Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice passed the buy down by Afghanistan’s conscience officers.

It comes after an investigation into the club’s compliance with Islamic laws, or Sharia.

The Taliban’s General Directorate on Physical Education and Sport stated in a speech sent to the AFP news agency that “it was discovered that the game is dangerous with respect to sharia and it has many features that are incompatible with the teachings of Islam.”

” That’s why this choice has been made”.

In Afghanistan, younger individuals are a fan base for MMA, which has attracted a large following in the two decades leading up to the Taliban’s 2021 resurgent.

The Truly Grand Fighting Championship ( TGFC) and the Afghanistan Fighting Championship ( AFC) both established dozens of fights in 2008, while the Mixed Martial Arts Federation ( MGA ) was established.

Although it does not appear to have been specifically stated in formal laws, MMA has been under intense pressure ever since the Taliban took control.

When the Taliban passed a law prohibiting “face-punching,” events were essentially outlawed in 2021.

According to discussions that were published in MMA papers, some combatants also complained of intimidation and threats from Taliban officials.

However, there were times when the government seemed to loosen their position.

Leading warrior Ahmad Wali Hotak was able to announce an upcoming struggle in Russia at a press event in the capital Kabul in 2022.

On his returning to Afghanistan, he was met by federal characters who posed for photos.

Most companies, however, had longer left the country before this latest news.

The International Olympic Committee has yet to accept MMA, mainly because of safety concerns.

Four of the 11 Afghans who participated in gymnastics at the Paris Games were first-class martial artists and were members of the Refugee Olympic team.

A crying child was locked in a wheelchair by two women in an airplane toilet, sparking an net debate in China about how to treat children in public areas.

After one of the two ladies, Gou Tingting, uploaded a picture of herself carrying the child inside the bathroom, the incident became well-known in China.

In her blog, she presented herself as trying to help people on board, but was quickly met with backlash.

Eventually, the aircraft claimed that the woman’s grandmother had granted permission to “educate her” to the two women.

On a Juneyao Airlines journey from Guiyang to Shanghai on August 24th, the tragedy occurred.

The child, who was travelling with her aunt, had started crying during the trip.

Two days after the incident, the flight announced in a statement that the girl’s mother who was traveling with her had agreed to allow two people use the restroom.

According to Ms. Gou’s account, a video that she posted on Chinese social media showed the other lady telling the girl to leave the bathroom just after she cried.

Local media accounts say she was a one-year-old, though the airport has certainly given information.

Soon after she posted the movie, backlash was sharp, with some criticising Ms Gou for lacking compassion and “bullying” the kid.

Responding to the censure, Ms Gou said she “prefers to take action rather than be a witness”.

” I just wanted to relax the child over and let everyone rest”, she wrote on Douyin, China’s parallel of TikTok.

She added that some people “moved to the back of the plane to avoid the noises,” while people” stuffed cell documents into their ear.”

Ms Gou’s bill has since been set secret.

When a child is one or two decades old, they are unable to manage their feelings. What’s bad with crying? Did n’t you cry when you were young too”? one person wrote on Weibo.

Another person expressed concern for the girl’s psychological effects, saying that” we should be thinking about how people spaces can better take and accommodate fresh children.”

Some people, however, argued that the women’s actions were justified because the woman’s grandmother had given her assent.

” To be honest, some babies cannot do without some knowledge”, a Weibo users wrote.

There is a growing debate over how to deal with what China refers to as “bear kids,” spoilt young children who cause a stir in public places like screaming or causing damage to public property.

The phrase “bear” being used in this example suggests that some Chinese people believe some kids may behave in a wild manner.

Some people trains now have individual children’s compartments in operation.

And elsewhere in the universe, there are divergent opinions on this. South Korea, for instance, has designated lots of children-free areas in cafes, museums and theatres.

However, lawmakers have demanded that the government remove these areas, citing the need to create a community that is more accepting of children, especially as the nation struggles with a small birthrate.

International carriers, including Turkish-Dutch ship Corendon Airlines and Singapore-based Scoot, offer the option for people to pay more to be seated in a child-free area.

At least 28 people have died and more than 24,000 have been relocated in the western Indian state of Gujarat since Sunday after heavy rains led to massive flooding.

Several rivers and reservoirs are overflowing as water levels have crossed the danger mark, officials said.

The Indian army and national disaster response teams are carrying out relief and rescue operations in the worst-hit areas.

The state is on high alert as the weather department has predicted heavy rains to continue over the next few days.

Gujarat regularly witnesses severe floods during the monsoon season – in 2017, more than 200 people died in floods triggered by unrelenting rain.

According to a government report, many parts of Gujarat are vulnerable to floods because major rivers “pass through a wide stretch of the very flat terrain before reaching the sea”.

Photos showed flooded streets and overflowing rivers. In some places, stranded people had to be rescued in helicopters.

Transport services have been disrupted in several parts and as many as 48 trains in the state were cancelled on Wednesday.

Villages and towns in the Saurashtra region have been worst-affected as they received non-stop rain for nearly 48 hours.

Several farmers told BBC Gujarati that the downpour had caused extensive damage to crops like cotton and groundnut.

Weather officials expect the heavy rains to start tapering off by 1 September as the deep depression in the Arabian Sea shifts towards Pakistan.

A large stock flames in June that claimed the lives of 23 workers and injured nine others has resulted in the arrest of Aricell’s CEO, a North Korean lithium battery company.

A judge approved the subpoena for Park Soon-kwan’s arrest on Wednesday.

Prosecutors have said Aricell’s administration is suspected of working security violations. One of South Korea’s worst stock accidents in recent years was the flames.

Investigators found that the plant had a number of security issues, including hiring unskilled staff to handle hazardous materials and failing to solve quality defects in batteries.

Aricell was alleged to have been dishonest in obtaining deals with the military.

Following some cell cell explosions, the fire broke out on June 24.

At the time of the hearth, the Aricell stock housed an estimated 35, 000 cell cell on its second floor, where batteries were inspected and packaged.

Due to the intense reaction between sodium fires and water, rescuers had to use dried dust to put an end to the incident, which took several hours to contain.

The subjects were generally foreign workers, from government’s including China and Laos.

South Korea is a leading manufacturer of sodium batteries, which are used in a variety of products, including laptops and electric cars.
