The mysterious death of a 57 year old monk in a temple in Ang Thong province sparked a police investigation. The body was found in a monk’s hut, lying on the floor surrounded by a foul smell, with blood and yellow liquid on the ground.

 

A lottery ticket for the October 1 draw was discovered in the hut, which drew the attention of local villagers keen to note down the number.

 

The police, along with medical staff from Wiset Chai Chan Hospital and rescue volunteers from Ang Thong, were called to Wat Muang, Hua Ta Phan subdistrict, Wiset Chai Chan district, Ang Thong province.

 

The deceased monk, named Samchai, had been unseen for several days, raising suspicions and concerns among the temple staff.

 

Upon inspection, the monk’s body was found in a decomposed state, with wounds on the back of the head. The monk is believed to have been dead for at least three to four days.
