rooster59 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Bogus monk admits stabbing death - but says it was done in self defence Image: Daily NewsBANGKOK:-- A fake monk has been arrested for killing a man in the Bang Seu area of Bangkok on Saturday morning. Anuwat Traibanyatikun, 25, was stabbed in Soi Pracharat Sai 1, Soi 25, in northern Bangkok, reports Daily News. The fake monk admitted the killing but told police that it was done in self defence when he was surprised changing out of civvies into his orange robes in a dark corner of the soi. Kritsana Phromsuwan, 62, has been charged with assault causing death and carrying a concealed knife in public. Taken into evidence was a penknife, a blue shirt with bloodstains and a fertiliser sack containing monk's robes. Kritsana was arrested at his lodgings behind the temple of Wat Soy Thong in Bang Seu on Saturday. He admitted what he had done but said he didn't mean to kill Anuwat. He told Bang Pho police that he was changing into his robes in a dark corner of the soi before going to ask for alms at the Din Daeng market. He said he was disturbed and the victim started swearing at him for his behaviour in pretending to be a monk. He claimed that the victim attacked him after he tried to get away. "He went for me so I got a knife from my trouser pocket and stabbed him as a means of defending myself," he said. "I didn't think that it would kill him." Kritsana had been charged with being a bogus monk earlier this year. He said he was ordained at 18 but had moved from temple to temple and was not accepted as a real member of the clergy. He said he was obliged to follow this way of life because of his sick mother. He apologised to his victim's family for his actions. Police took the old fraud into custody and began preparing the case against him. Source: Daily News -- 2016-04-24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedly Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 These people dress as Monks and go around begging for money from foreigners who don't know any better, Monks do not beg for money in bars etc, why Thais tolerate these scumbags is beyond me, evidently this Thai guy was offended but wasn't expecting a weapon Nothing else but murder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Did anyone noticed the sharp spike up in the last few days, with a spat and slew of senseless shootings stabbing and just vicious killings all over the country, and all this is following the Thai holiday of the new year, I have been here for many years and never witnessed so many of them in such a short period of time, I hope that this is not a sign of how things going to in this country....

Happy Grumpy Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Thais really have no idea how much anger they have pent up inside them. Such poor emotional and mental health, which is beyond their comprehension. Such childlike ego issues, being reprimanded for their wrongdoing results in such distress. A sad and pathetic social and cultural aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
