A nine-year-old Buddhist novice has died after a beating by a Thai
monk who allegedly battered him with a stick and slammed his head
against a pillar, officials said on Friday.
Monk Suphachai Suthiyano, 64, flew into a rage during a prayer
session last weekend when the young disciple disrupted the ceremony with
his “playful” behaviour.
The monk allegedly assaulted Wattanapol Sisawad with a bamboo stick
at the temple in Kanchanaburi, two hours west of Bangkok, striking him
on his back several times before bashing his head into a pillar.
The child fell into a coma and passed away yesterday, a hospital
worker at Kanchanaburi provincial hospital told AFP today, requesting
anonymity.
