Rama X: this is the eccentric king of Thailand who could decide the life of Daniel Sancho if he is sentenced to death for the murder and dismemberment of a Colombian surgeon

Daniel Sancho, the Spaniard accused of murdering and dismembering Colombian doctor Edwin Arrieta in Thailand, could face the death penalty. However, only the opulent King Maha Vajiralongkorn, crowned as Rama X, was able to play a leading role in the case and avoid that conviction.

If Sancho is found guilty of premeditated murder and sentenced to death, he will have the option of going to the Thai monarch to request a commutation of the death sentence. However, in order to achieve this, he must gain the consent of the king, who is known for his controversies and eccentricities.

Thailand’s king, Maha Vajiralongkorn, known as Rama X, 71, attracts attention for his whims.

He belongs to the Chakri dynasty, and was officially crowned in May 2019, in a ceremony that cost about 30 million dollars, three years after his father’s death.

With its luxurious and extravagant lifestyle, it attracts the attention of the media and citizens.

From his unusual taste in fashion, his four wives, his harem of 20 concubines and his desire to be treated as a demigod, the king leaves a unique mark on the history of the Thai monarchy.

One of Vajiralongkorn’s most notable eccentricities is his passion for aviation. In 2020, the Thai monarch caused controversy by flying his plane, a Boeing 737-800, in a risky manner over Germany, writes El Español.

Sorry to the Spaniard

The case of Daniel Sancho and the royal pardon has a precedent. Spaniard Artur Segarra was sentenced to death in Thailand for murdering and dismembering a man. However, in 2020 he received a pardon from the king to avoid execution.
