Last night, an incident unfolded at a temple in the eastern province of Rayong where one monk stabbed another monk. The monk who carried out the act stated that he mistakenly believed the victim to be a potential thief.

 

Phe Police Station officers rushed to the unnamed temple at 10pm yesterday after being notified about the stabbing incident. Upon arrival, they spotted the injured monk named Bas sitting on the floor with blood pouring from his head and body.

 

Officers then coordinated with a rescue team to provide Bas first aid and transfer him to the hospital.

The preparator, 33 year old monk named Noppadon Kaewklom, presented himself to the police. He admitted to his action but insisted that the attack was motivated by a misunderstanding.

That old Oscar Pistorius. 

Men in saffron robes.

Ya gotta love 'em.????????

Just another argument about kharma.

Short version says "misunderstanding" but the long version says they had a fight.

I ignore them now...

I can't tell the real ones from the criminals saying sorry for a couple of months.

A monk grabs a knife to investigate. And who was the other mysterious man who disappeared lover or drug dealer or buyer. 

Most all monks wear those neon orange robes, as seen in this picture.  No way in hell he could have thought this guy was a thief.  Something else going on.

And the useless, homeless, unskilled who go into it because they get a place to live, free food and other gifts, and they shoot up the respect ladder.
