Mystery of missing coffins in Buri Ram

By The Nation

 

 

An elderly man in Buri Ram has pleaded with thieves to stop stealing his coffins, after four caskets earmarked for donation mysteriously went missing last month.

 

Pichai Sawasdee, 63, said he reckons the coffins may have been stolen either to perform black magic or because people were too stingy to pay for one.

 

But then the former policeman said new coffins would hardly be effective in black magic, as practitioners normally use pieces of wood from used coffins for their rituals. 

 

The coffins, which had been bought through donations, were kept in an open area at a rescue foundation in Buri Ram’s Muang district.

 

People requiring a free coffin have to first register their request with a local temple, before they can pick it at the foundation once they have been granted permission by the monks.

I hope that the investigations into the coffin thefts don't come to a dead end.????

Be no good for those of Chinese ancestry, they like open top coffins!

Because seeing is bereaving! ????

I suspect someone will cough up soon or later ! or the subject matter will be dead and buried !

I guess he got stiffed for the missing coffins 

Black magic? Check on Nigerians in the area.

 

Buriram (province) does have the reputation of being the black magic capital of Thailand.

Maybe not. What if:-

The money for the donated coffins wasn't used to buy coffins..................

What if:-

The coffins weren't there in the first place?

No wonder they would be missing........

But this is conjecture - people don't do that sort of thing, do they?

After reading the headline I was pleased to hear that they were empty

Could be earmarked by the "men in black" for other anti-military activists!
