Sangkhom Sangkhaphat, the ex-monk formerly known as Phra Methi Suthikorn and accused of masterminding Wat Sa Ket (Golden Mount) embezzlement, surrendered to police on Thursday. (Post Today photo)A former assistant abbot at the embezzlement-hit Wat Sa Ket who is accused of playing a collaborative role in siphoning money from the temple has been denied bail after he surrendered to the police. A police source said he denied all the charges levelled against him during the interrogation. He wrote earlier to the NOB seeking 10 million baht for an educational project linked to Buddhist studies, the source said. The two former monks issued cheques from the temple and let a temple employee cash them, the source said.
