Monk hangs himself inside local Temple grounds.
Police Lieutenant Griengaiwoot from Banglamung Police Station was called to the Sutawat Temple in Nongprue late on Saturday Night to investigate the apparent suicide of a monk inside the temple grounds. He arrived and inspected the body of Pra Prasit who was discovered by a colleague, Pra Sanan. He had apparently hung himself from a wooden rafter located outside a toilet block. Pra Sanan mentioned that the suicide victim would speak about a cousin who would come and visit him on a regular basis and ask for money. The victim would mention that his family would only contact him when they needed money and would stay away at other times. Police made a thorough inspection of the surrounding area and the body for any signs of foul play and along with statements from other monks at the temple, concluded this was indeed a suicide.
