Popular Post webfact Posted February 28 Popular Post Share Posted February 28 A Thai man, who attacked a monk at a temple in Chon Buri province, later died after the sharp head of a Buddha statue pierced his chest during a rampage in the temple’s main hall. Locals suggested that his death appeared to be the swift result of karma. Residents in the Banbung district of Chon Buri province sought assistance from Banbung Police Station officers at about 1pm yesterday, February 27, after a Thai man, 49 year old Ek, went on a rampage and attacked a monk named Best. According to residents, Ek was under the influence of methamphetamine, also known as Yaba. He and Best were friends, and Ek stayed with Best at the temple for a few days before the incident took place. Officers arrived at the temple and discovered that Ek hid himself in the main hall. He locked all the doors and windows and destroyed Buddha statues inside the hall. Police waited outside for safety reasons, suspecting Ek might have a weapon in his hands. They called Ek and told him to surrender to the police but, as there was no response, they decided to break down the door and enter. To their shock, they saw Ek lying dead in a pool of blood. A statue of Buddha was lying on Ek’s chest and the sharp head of the statue was piercing his chest. A video of the operation showed police and locals shouting and screaming at the shocking incident. Police suspect that Ek was trying to climb on top of the largest statue in the main hall to destroy it. However, he accidentally slipped off the large statue and fell onto the pointed head of a smaller statue. The head pierced Ek’s heart and lungs, killing him. The monk, Best, confessed to the police that he took Yaba with his friend Ek and agreed to leave the monkhood for his misconduct. Best explained that Ek took the drug and attacked him in the morning by hitting his arm with a fluorescent tube. He ran away from his accommodation to seek help from other monks, while Ek ran into the main hall and began destroying statues. by Petch Petpailin Photo via Facebook เครือสหพัฒน์-แหลมฉบัง-ชลบุรี Source: The Thaiger 2024-02-28 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Emdog Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 "The monk, Best, confessed to the police that he took Yaba with his friend Ek and agreed to leave the monkhood for his misconduct." Good choice "Best explained that Ek took the drug and attacked him in the morning by hitting his arm with a fluorescent tube." Really? It's hard not to break those, the glass is so thin. Reinforces the name of the drug: 'drug crazy' in translation. Even among Best of friends 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual Brian, you have struck deep to the heart of the issue, asking all of the burning questions and homing in with a laser focus on the very crux of the matter.

Well done It seems to be in my Genes my dad worked in fleet street as an office runner, and had no qualms in asking personate questions to anybody through out his life. He would have made a good investigative reporter, but then the war came along after he worked in a book factory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
