Two arrested for killing monk, stealing Ks 40m

Police arrested two people suspected of killing a presiding monk at a monastery and stealing Ks 40 million in Latpanhla Village, Mandalay Region, on June 13.

The funds were meant to be used to open a free clinic in the monastery.

The police record says the monk sustained injuries to his lip and neck.

“A novice went to wake the monk when he didn’t arrive for his early breakfast. A pathologist said he was killed around 12am. The monk had presided over the monastery for about 30 years. Four novices stayed with the monk, and the free clinic will be opened tomorrow. I knew the money was issued from the bank, but I don’t know about it in details,” said Kyawt Kyawt Sein, one of the donors to the monastery. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
