rooster59 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Babies corpses stolen by graverobbers in Rayong for 'black magic' Image: Sanook The bodies of ten babies have been stolen by graverobbers from a cemetery in Rayong. Police believe the theft from the cemetery in Ban Chang is linked to black magic or occult beliefs. Rescue workers were called to the cemetery on Saturday when locals reported that some graves had been forced open and that the infant bodies were missing. Rescue workers said a total of 10 bodies had been stolen. Locals told police that they had heard someone reciting prayers in Khmer dialect shortly before the theft of the bodies was discovered. Police say those responsible may use the bodies to make baby amulets known as kuman tong, which are revered among believers of black magic. On Saturday officers from Ban Chang police station and military personnel collected evidence from the cemetery as they continue to search for those responsible. Police urged locals not to panic over what is shocking but believed to be isolated incident.

Yes indeed - Buddhists are cremated. These babies must have been of a different religious belief - for example Christian. The Chinese also bury their dead as can be witnessed at many Chinese cemeteries throughout Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick220675 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I live in a small village on the Cambodian border with a very superstitious population. The village has been plagued with ghost attacks leaving many seriously ill and some dead. Most blame black magic spells for the deaths and illness. I have been to 3 Buddhist burials, and latter when the deceased were dug up and burnt after years of been in the ground. My understanding if the deceased had a violent death they may be buried first and at a latter date cremated. I remember reading years ago Thailand burred thousands of children who had no family and then died as cremations are expensive, this may be the reason so many children were buried in on place.
