Bangkok: Two Thai Buddhist monks have been arrested and charged with murder and arson for burning another monk to death, police told dpa on Thursday. The murder of monks by fellow clergymen is rare in Thailand, where Buddhism is practised by 95 per cent of the population. Phra Boonsri, 61, was caught on Wednesday at his hiding in the north-eastern province of Si Sa Ket, where he and another monk set fire to the room of Phra Somjit, 53, while he was sleeping. (dpa)
