Thai authorities have indicated that there were potential signs of premeditation in the crime.
The Discovery of Body Parts
Mr. Sancho, the son of Spanish actors, initially reported Dr. Arteaga missing after attending a full moon party with friends. However, suspicions arose when body parts, including hips and thighs, were found at a local landfill site. The police later discovered additional remains scattered at seven different locations.

Possible Signs of Preparation
Media outlets have revealed that Mr. Sancho was observed purchasing items like knives, plastic bags, and cleaning supplies from convenience stores on the island, fueling suspicions about premeditation.
