webfact Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 In a shocking event, a Thai monk named Suntree has confessed to murdering Suppapong, a man seeking food at Khao Peep Temple in Chumphon Province. The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, raising concerns about the sanctity of a place meant for peace and spiritual solace. Suppapong’s wife, Onpreya, had raised the alarm after her husband vanished on June 14, believing he had sought refuge at the temple. Initially, the monks, Suntree and his father Had, denied seeing the missing man. However, Suppapong’s body was discovered on June 15 in a pond within a nearby palm plantation, just 200 metres from the temple. He had been viciously stabbed multiple times in the face—unusually, the weapon was identified as a sharp steel object rather than a knife. Police interrogated the monks on June 18. Initial accounts suggested that Had and his son would typically collect food offerings at 5:30 a.m. and return by 8:30 a.m. However, security footage highlighted discrepancies: Had returned to the temple significantly earlier than Suntree on the day of the murder. Additionally, police noticed suspicious scratch marks on Suntree’s shoulder, which he dismissed as mosquito bites. After intense questioning, lasting over two hours, Suntree broke down and confessed. He narrated that Suppapong frequently awaited food leftovers at the temple. On the fateful day, the monk, not having eaten himself, requested Suppapong to wait. An argument ensued when Suppapong insisted on being served immediately, resulting in a violent confrontation in which Suntree used a stainless-steel spoon to fatally stab the man. Despite admitting to the assault, Suntree denied any involvement in moving the body to the plantation, leaving the police with unanswered questions. Following his confession, Suntree was ordered to disrobe and face legal actions. Reports indicate that Suntree had struggled with mental health issues since a car accident in his youth, often experiencing uncontrollable anger episodes. Future plans suggest that after serving his sentence, Suntree might return to his home province of Udon Thani, where arrangements could be made for him to receive plots of land to lead a stable life. The incident has severely tarnished the monk's reputation and cast a shadow over the otherwise serene environment of Khao Peep Temple.

What? How old is the guy? If it´s the man on the image, he will not survive the length of a normal prison sentence for murder. Of course they will give him the milky way, and after bring presents for serving good so he can live a normal life. What about Onpreya, Suppapongs wife? What will she get? probably something that is to be viewed as a disgraceful compensation, just because she is not in the group of protected members. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An unusual weapon to choose for fatally stabbing the victim. In all my years as a Forensic Expert with the UK Police Service, I never encountered such a "devastating" weapon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk or no monk, or indeed regardless of who murdered Suppapong, or why, future plans should be a charge of murder, a court hearing and a death sentence for murder.

steven100 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I've heard of many being stabbed with kitchen knives, even a fork, but never heard of a spoon being used so viciously ..... spoons are used for nice things like soup and porridge and custard, never any anger in a spoon except when cracking a boiled egg.

Actually this statement is totally irrelevant and really has nothing to do with the murder and circumstances, it seems strange to even mention his future at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not strange at all to mention his future. He is a MURDERER by his own admission, and should receive the extreme punishment for his crime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply saying his time after prison is not part of what's happened here and now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again it was the little thing with contributing with your own opinion instead of attacking other posters. Or didn´t you have anything here either? But, let me explain: They, are the ones who will handle the case from investigation to sentence. The info, I based my post on was in the news article. There it stands he would be taken care of and have land and a life after he comes out again, but not a word about the wife of the man he killed. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all my years as a Forensic Expert with the UK Police Service, I never encountered such a "devastating" weapon. Your classic western style spoon would be an unlikely weapon, however one of these might fit the bill. I've just tried it (hypothetically of course) by placing the spoon end in the palm of my hand and the sharp pointy handle sticking out of my fist. I reckon that could do the job. SAS/SEAL types would probably see it as the perfect improvised weapon. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai justice system is Mucking Fental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
