CityNews – The abbot of Wat Suan Dok who was accused of stealing the ID of a dead novice monk in 1995 came out of hiding on October 27 to deny all allegations against him.

 

The case against the abbot, now known as Phraraj Rachamunee, was a detailed and complicated case with the main claim being that he was a Burmese national and stole the ID of a novice monk who died at the temple he was based in 1995, but was only reported to the police earlier this year.

 

The Governor of Chiang Mai told police that this was an urgent matter.

 

After the case was released to the press, the abbot went into hiding and police were unable to find him until he turned himself into the Mae Ai police station to deny all the allegations against him on October 27.

Yeah, yeah, false ID cards, dead novice monks, all these pernickety details, but have the police made him sing the Phleng Chat Thai (Thai National Anthem), that's the usual test for Burmese illegals, ain't it.
