webfact Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 'Child-Abusing' Abbot Murdered By His VictimBy Khaosod Online Image source: KhaosodBANGKOK: -- A 17 year old monk novice has confessed to murdering the monk abbot who sexually abused him in the temple and delayed the payment he was promised for his ′service′.The novice, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested in Sam Chai district, Kalasin province.On 16 October, the police were alerted to investigate the death of Pra Kru Indra-Sanuwattna, the monk abbot of Wat Thaen Sila-Asna Temple in the province. The police found the abbot with a fatal head injury in front of his temple residence.However, the murderer did not steal any belongings from the abbot, leading the police to believe the culprit was someone close to Pra Kru Indra, who had committed the crime for personal motives.Further investigation suggested that the murderer is a monk novice who recently ran away from the temple. The arrest warrant was issued, and today the police arrested the suspect at nearby Wat Na-Doon Temple.The police also found a blood-stained wooden staff, which is believed to have been the weapon of the crime.The monk novice confessed to the crime, and was promptly defrocked.The former novice told the police that he had met Pra Kru Indra earlier this year. The elderly monk then persuaded the suspect to visit to his residence, the suspect claimed, and asked to have sexual intercourse in exchange for 300 – 500 THB cash.As their relationship developed, Pra Kru Indra started to refuse to pay the novice, according to the defrocked novice. The suspect then reportedly started to avoid the abbot.On the night of the incident, the suspect said, the abbot contacted him because he urgently needed the boy to perform a holy tattoo for a customer. The novice rushed to the temple to find no customers but the abbot, who claimed that he had lied to the novice because he missed him, according to the suspect′s testimonyThe two allegedly had sexual intercourse again until the novice asked for the money to leave. However, the abbot reportedly refused and told the novice to carry on.Upset, the novice tried to leave the scene, but the abbot followed and threatened that the novice’s ecclesiastical I.D. was kept with him, according to the suspect. He said he became enraged and smashed the abbot on the head several times with a wooden staff before he fled the scene.Police have pressed murder charges against the 17-year-old suspect.Investigation conducted by the police also claimed that Pra Kru Indra had avoided associating with local parishioners as he preferred to travel to different temples in order to lure their novices back to his temple residence for sexual intercourse.The abbot had once organised a summer novice ordination program, placing 10 boys into the novicehood, according to the police, and many of them complained to their parents that they had been sexually abused by the abbot, but no legal action was ever taken against Pra Kru Indra.Monks are forbidden from engaging in sexual intercourse regardless of any gender according to Buddhist dogma.Source: http://www.khaosod.co.th/en/view_newsonline.php?newsid=TVRNNE1qQXhORFUyTWc9PQ==-- KHAOSOD English 2013-10-18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outragious lack of action by the police........while I cannot condone murder, maybe in this case we should call it karma. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zodaka Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I've always thought that abuse in the Monkhood must be rampant and probably far worse than what's happened in the Catholic Church. Most of the novices are from very poor families with no 'power' and are brought up to believe in the superstition and sancturay of the temples. On the other hand, monks are potentially sex starved and many have previous criminal records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim walker Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Lazy inept police one again having to rely on some 17YO to do their work for them and the 17YO has obviously done a good and proper job of sentencing his abuser to death.

Suradit69 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 One more time Monks, Priests etc .. are only humain being after all . One would like to believe that monks and priests or others in position of authority would exhibit exemplary behavior, but to be fair, the kid was apparently OK with it all until the money stopped. The problem isn't so much religion as the unreasonable expectation that remaining celibate somehow elevates one to a higher level of religiosity. I suppose if you can completely deny yourself any kind of sexual expression because of your faith, that's impressive but the correlation between frequency of sex and degree of faith seems a ridiculous denial of our God-given human nature and a rather sad commentary on what faith means. We want normal people to act abnormally and then seem surprised at the result. Even people who fast for extended periods of time as a tribute to God eventually start eating again. If these people had some acceptable way of dealing with their natural sexual urges rather than pretending that they don't exist, everyone, probably including God, would be a lot happier and cases like this would be few and far between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
