Buddhist monk found dead with throat slit in Bangladesh

Bandarban monastery-Bangladesh



A Buddhist monk has been found dead with his throat slit in a monastery in Bangladesh on Saturday, police said.


The body was discovered by someone bringing him breakfast at the monastery in Bandarban, a district that borders Myanmar.

The victim, Yu Gayinda -- born Maung Sai U Chak (monks acquire a new name at initiation) -- was in his 70s. Police said he was likely killed Friday night.

No one has claimed responsibility for the killing. Police are looking for the attacker or attackers.

A week earlier, a Muslim Sufi spiritual leader was found hacked to death. Last month alone saw similar killings of a university professor, a Hindu tailor, an atheist blogger and two gay rights activists.
