A Recipe for Murder: History and Key Facts

A Recipe for Murder, or Receta Para Un Asesinato, is a true life crime docuseries produced by Get Me Out Productions for SkyShowtime.

The series is directed by José Gómez, known for 11M: Terror in Madrid, a documentary about the 2004 Madrid train bombings. It was executive produced by Hali Anastopoulo and Akim Anastopoulo, produced by Get Me Out Productions and premiered on February 23, 2025.

The series chronicles the death and dismemberment of Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta by Daniel Sancho, an aspiring chef with a following on YouTube, in Thailand, in August 2023, which was covered worldwide by the media. Sancho, the son of Spanish actor Rodolfo Sancho, was tried and convicted in Thailand on August 29, 2024. Sancho initially claimed the killing was in self-defense, never pleading guilty to murder, but pled guilty to dismemberment and was sentenced to death, which was commuted to life in prison.

Gómez said the series centered on "issues of white privilege, of acquired right and the increasingly diffuse line between journalism and entertainment."
