rooster59 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Boy, 9, who was brutally beaten by monk in Kanchanaburi has now died A 9 year old boy who was brutally beaten by a 65 year old monk at a temple in Kanchanaburi has died, police have said. Suphachai Suthiyano, 64, stands accused of beating Wattanapol Sisawad, nicknamed Daeng, aged 9, with a wooden stick and hitting his head against a concrete pillar. Both the boy's arms were broken, he had a fractured chin, blood on the brain and wounds and bruises all over his body. According to AFP, Wattanapol, who had been in hospital since the attack on 19 August fell into a coma and died as a result of his injuries on Thursday night. At the time of his arrest Suphachai said he beat the boy because he was naughty and had disrupted a prayer meeting after previously nearly burning down the temple school. The boy’s mother, Sukanya Tunhin, 31, said her son was ordained back in April, having decided to leave him at the temple due to the fact that she does not have work and could not afford to feed him. Suphachai who now faces a murder charge, has also been defrocked following the attack. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2018-08-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inactiveposter Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I’m a lapsed (whatever religion) but I’m always reminded of a line from Cathedral (CSN&Y) - “So many people have died in the name of Christ that I can’t believe it all.” Insert the name of your messiah.

ReMarKable Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Isn't the procedure to pay off the mother and wai? I supposed he picked up some coin while a monk. May have been hiding from the "law" in the monastery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say 'TIT', while obviously you don't know a thing about this country's religious customs. If you did, you'd be aware of the fact that 'ordained', in Thailand, covers a lot of different situations, marked by many different kinds of ceremonies, even though the word 'ordained' is indiscriminately used by Westerners to describe them (which in itself speaks volumes about the Western attitude). Some very young kids can spend various amounts of time at the temple, and for a wide variety of reasons, after going through an 'ordination' ceremony. It does not mean they're going to be monks forever. Most of the time it's just a few days or weeks. But here you are, lashing out at a country and a culture of which you obviously know very little, if anything. Do your homework before you criticize, for <deleted> sake ! Ah, but... this is Thai Visa. TITV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
